Jacques Chiraq :D

Jacques Chirac, French president, on Friday ended the fragile truce at the European Union summit in Brussels with a strong attack on the "illegal" US-British attack on Iraq.


Mr Chirac signalled that France would campaign through the United Nations to keep any American or British involvement in the running of postwar Iraq to a minimum.

Just hours after Tony Blair, British prime minister, called for a new UN resolution on the reconstruction of Iraq, Mr Chirac said France would not accept a dominant US and British role in such efforts.

"France will not accept a resolution that would legitimise military intervention and give the US and British the powers of administration in Iraq," he said.

Mr Chirac, in his end-of-summit press conference, also toughened his rhetoric against the war allies, claiming their action "breached international legality".

I don't understand why you're not more angry with Turkey trying to blackmale us. France is what it is. No surprises there, really. But what Turkey did was tremendously underhanded and it bothers me.
 
Give me time, right now I'm too focused on Iraq & being pissed at France. I'm trying to find an article I heard today about how they voted in 1939, with the League of Nations. It shows hos this is not a fluke.

It's not a fluke. The french have always put their self-interest above all other considerations. It's what they do. I think it must be a cultural thing. It's one of the reasons hardly anyone likes the french.
 
So France didn't want to participate in a war, or allow a war to happen, for their own interests. They condemn our actions, claiming that we just want to hand pick the new regime out of our own self interests, but now they want to take over that job themselves? I don't suppose that has anything to do with the same oil contracts that played a part in their opposition to the war, does it?

And some people use the word "hypocritic" to describe the US's actions?
