Memo to Chirac: your lads aren't fighting and dying to free Iraq. As such, you haven't a right to anything. You don't even have the right to speak about this anymore.

SHUT UP.

Let the french participate solely as the front line going through tunnels looking for booby traps. They enabled Saddam, they are lucky we don't make them next on the list.

Chiraq will have as much say as a woodpecker in a petrified forest.

Froggy, Froggy. When in danger, when in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout.

It's no wonder Chirac and Hussien were such bosom buddies; they're both delusional about their greatness and their power. Chirac is gonna come up against hard reality fast. The only manuever room he has to make it so is through the UNSC, where the veto is king!

I agree that the"UN must play central role" in Iraq. Their presence should be noted in a closet somewhere smack-dab in the middle of Baghdad, big enough for a sign on the door and a waste basket.

Someone needs to gobsmack Chirac.

[BillF]

Hit the road Jacques, and don't you come back no more!

"It is up to the United Nations -- and it alone -- to take on the political, economic, humanitarian and administrative reconstruction of Iraq," Chirac told reporters after meeting with UN High Commissioner for Refugees Ruud Lubbers.

Did anyone bother to tell Baghdad Jac that the UN is irrelevant and ineffectual?

Maybe the French, Germans and Russians could clean out the sewers because they certainly know how to fill them up.
