[America's Resolve]

Chirac has insisted repeatedly that the decision on whether to go to war rests with the Security Council - not the United States.

Like the Ivory Coast Mr. Chirac???

[America's Resolve]

THen again there's this from Ron Perleman:

France is no longer an ally of the United States and the NATO alliance "must develop a strategy to contain our erstwhile ally or we will not be talking about a NATO alliance" the head of the Pentagon's top advisory board said in Washington Tuesday...

From the thread:

France no longer an ally

So ultimately, france might not count worth spit anyway.
