It just hit me tonight how many times France has been allowed to share in the "spoils" of victory without being the decisive player in making that victory happen. In war, France is the "Me, Too" member of the "team".
Once this war is over and records are aired, it is going to be interesting to see the extent to which France has kept Iraq going these past ten years. Oil contracts, sanction violations, fighter jets, nuclear technology, chunnel-digging technology--not to mention lip service in diplomatic support of this lunatic.
