If Chirac's behind Suha, it's he's getting a big bribe!

There's all that money floating around. Madame Suha wants it, but the PLO 'heirs' want their snouts stuck in the PLO pig trough also.

For Chirac, Suha would be the easiest venue to that cash stash, compared to brokering with umpteen somewhat 'less than trustworthy' PLO leaders.

This is looking like the trailer trash version of "The Godfather".
