Bill Kristol mentioned this to Tony Snow who was hosting Brit's show last night. Apparently this book was just recently translated. Hmmmm.

Shhhhh, nothing to see here. We know Chirac is a principled man, and Bush is just a reckless cowboy. Now back to your vin et fromage.

Better for the French ruling class to come clean now.

The French ruling class just never learns, do they?

I was about to say that it's time to bring back the tumbrils, but of course, they would have to be driven by the members of France's extremely left-wing and corrupt transit worker unions, so I guess that wouldn't work this time around. They're all in it together, the very left and the very corrupt.

Explosive Report: Jacques Chirac & Saddam Hussein Are Longtime Friends & Allies

Better for the French ruling class to come clean now. That's the only way it can salvage any dignity at all.

Dignity? French? In the same sentence?

[CruisinAround]

Just as liberals shout down conservatives, so do the socialist Europeans shout down Americans. The only way they can compete in the world would require them to work more than 25 hours/week.

Yeah, yeah, zee evil french are still doing business with Saddam today. Oh, BTW, how many of you know that two-thirds are Iraqi oil are still today being snapped up by US companies?

That's (I Like Iraq) Chirac on the far right Saddam second from the left.

And the reason they're wearing white coats is .... ?

Notice where these "gentlemen" are standing. Inside a partially constructed nuclear reactor containment vessel. The very one that France sold to Saddam.

You know...Tammuz:

The one the Israelis took care of before it came online:

There's surely a reason that the current leader has been called (behind his back mostly)
for quite a few years: "Iraq Chiraq".

I've heard it mentioned a couple of times that Chirac was funded by Saddam/Iraq in his
pursuit of public office.

Maybe it's time for Kroll Associates (the invetigative firm that has tracked down
a lot of Saddam's billions of $$$, as show on CBS's "Sixty Minutes" last night.
