I believe that there is a big difference between the French military and the French politicians. I would be willing to bet that the military and intellengence communities have been convinced of the danger.

Once the politicians see that the greater political risk is doing nothing and having to answer the second-guessing type questions, they will be on board too.

I recommend a book called " Bullseye One" about the Isralie bombing of the Iraq reactor back in 1981. The French were knee deep in helping SH obtain what he needed for a bomb. And Me thinks they're knee deep in there now, afraid to loose the investment and Face IMHO
