I re-read it bud, sounds as stupid as the first time I did so.
It is a "butt covering" excercise by French politicians in case biological or chemical weapons are used. It is stupid because the same politicians have been saying all along that there is no proof Sadaam has them, which in turn is a "cover-up" in their efforts to secure their own trade with Sadaam's Iraq.
Essentially your politicians may as well "Open mouth and insert foot".
