As world leaders gather at the United Nations this week to debate a host of global issues, French President Jacques Chirac said Monday that the threat of sanctions against Iran should be suspended during nuclear negotiations.

"I don't believe in a solution without dialogue," Chirac told Europe-1 radio before leaving for New York for the opening of the UN General Assembly debate.

Chirac suggested that both sides set an agenda for talks and that both make concessions to get the negotiations started. He said Iran should agree to suspend its uranium enrichment program, while the Western countries that oppose it should drop their push for international sanctions against Iran.

Chirac's pockets were full of Saddam's money. Why not the mullahs' money as well?

[M1Tanker]

The only "dialogue" Chirac seems to know is surrender, appeasement, and bribes.

That a boy Jacques.

The French seem to keep their white flag in a holster.

It comes out so fast - only possible with daily practice.

They are coming to Paris they know they can take o=it without a fight.

[Old Grumpy]

[shankbear]

I was in Paris this summer and they are there by the tens of thousands already. Au revoir Paris.

Vichy-muzzies. A new twist with old meaning.

I could go along with that as long as we keep the threat of bombing their leadership out of existane on the table.

How many Frenchmen does it take to defend Paris?

No one knows...it's never been tried before.

As we keep ripping the pages off the calender month by month, year by year, they keep going ahead with what they want. I vote for an EMP 100 miles above Tehran, a really big one. No one dies (well, not very many) and they get the kind of world they want, about 10th century or so.

"Drop threat of sanctions against Iran: Chirac"

Butt-out, Butt-hole!

[Juan Medén]

Jaques. "dialogue" by definition means that both participants have a position to present and defend. Saying "Whatever you say" is not a form of dialogue!

Why do they keep electing this fool?

[gaspar]

The sooner this Crazy Guggenheim is out of office and in a French jail (he has been convicted of bribery) the better off the world will be.

[Wristpin]

The frenchies must want to sell some Exocets to the Iranians. It just business....

[dfwgator]

France harbored the Ayatollah Khomeini for 15 years, they love the Mullahs.

[Falcon4.0]

What if we threaten to fart in their general direction?
