"That being said, we share one and the same conviction today, namely that there is no alternative to restoring peace and therefore to restoring security and development in Iraq and that no effort must be spared in achieving this," Chirac said.


So he beleives no effort must be spared, yet refuses to help? Nice! What is he saying? The guy continues to be repulsive.

"I have always said that I have no information that would lead me to believe that there were or were not for that matter weapons of mass destruction in Iraq," Chirac said.


I guess he would have rather continued to "not know" and just trust that Saddam didn't have them. What a man of action Chirac is. what bold leadership he provided in the situation.

I thought America didn't need any help from Europe or the UN?

That was not the point in case. The point is that Chirac says that no effort must be spared, yet what has he done ?

The point is that Chirac didn't know either way if Iraq had WMD, yet was happy to sit by and let Iraq continue to snub inspections.

The Point is that Chirac is a hypocrite.

Here's thinking out of the box for you....maybe he thinks his actions will cause Bush to lose the election in Nov thereby creating an opportunity for peace in the middle east?

Bet that makes your head hurt!!

Maybe if he thinks he can help create peace in the middle east and that no effort should be spared, he could put aside politics and focus on the job at hand?

well that what I mean - maybe he thinks regime change in America is the best way to achieve lasting peace in Iraq and in the wider M/E.

Anyway it's just conjecture on my part - I just don't think that the
major powers - France, Germany, Russia (Of Europe) are willing to help Bush in any way, do you?

What will be interesting of course is if Kerry wins in Nov whether they'll change their tune.

It's not about helping Bush, its about helping Iraq. They put politics ahead of what is the right thing to do. I bet that concept makes your head spin.

lol....no  :D

Bush is managing to mess things up himself so we can just sit back and watch him fail. The really sad thing is that US troops and  the Iraqi people has to suffer for Mr Bush's politics.

There has been no peace in the middle east since Balfour, and Lawrence fought along with the Arabs before that.  It was strife torn long before George W. Bush.

nope not at all - all the rest of the world has to do to see Bush get thrown out is not lift a finger to help him - which do you think will happen?

Just curious.

What are all you naysayers going to do if it all works out just fine?

There will be a transfer of power on June 30. There will be free elections to follow.

What are you going to say if 2-3 years from now Iraq HAS a relatively smooth-running elective government and is making good strides towards becoming one of the most progressive countries in the Middle East?
