This is going to get very ugly, isn't it?

I read a story about the French now offering to send 900 trops to Iraq? Chirac flip-flopping, saying he's happy for the people of Iraq? Is this true???

I had not heard anything about the French. But their chance to take action has passed. Everyone sees they are not on our side now.

I see that the French and Russian embassies were looted. It seems to me looting is a nice cover for CIA folks to get access to those embassies and gain some intelligence.

Chirac just wants to send people in to cover up French involvement. Plus if they send a token force, he thinks he can chime in on policy. Thanks but no thanks will be the administration's answer, methinks.

No doubt the frenchmen want to join in the looting. It's what they've been doing all this time. Looting the oil and leaving the people to starve.
