France does not seem to understand the logistical realities of an invasion, doing it while forces are available and in position, before the summer heat, and so forth. They are playing right into Iraq's hands, Iraq knowing full well that if it can only delay things a couple months it probably won't be invaded at all until next year and that the expense and strain of the US keeping forces that long will make the whole project collapse. At which point, France can puff itself up as the big defender of peace, Hussein can keep building up his WMD stockpile and become the leader of anti-American sentiment, and the US can just go crawl under a rock for all the influence it will have in global affairs.
