This is typical of the French. All they want are the contracts to help rebuild Lebanon, at the expense of the US and other countries.

France is like a gang of cash bandits. They lie in wait of some poor unsuspecting country with foreign aid, and then they swoop in under the guise of a contractor and steal them blind.
De Gaulle behaved himself like a regular prima dona

I recall the French and our other good friend Russia doing a booming business with Sadam and Iraq.

I wondered if he intended the pun.
