A WORLD WHERE EVEN THE FROGS RATTLE OUR SABERS:
France warning of war with Iran (BBC, 9/16/07)
French foreign minister Bernard Kouchner says the world should prepare for war over Iran's nuclear programme."We have to prepare for the worst, and the worst is war," Mr Kouchner said in an interview on French TV and radio.
Mr Kouchner said negotiations with Iran should continue "right to the end", but an Iranian nuclear weapon would pose "a real danger for the whole world".
Not that a Democratic president would have any choice anyway, once the Israeli's told him/her to attack or they will, but they also couldn't afford to appear weaker than the French. Posted by Orrin Judd at September 16, 2007 2:41 PM
"We have to prepare for the worst, and the worst is war."
What did we expect from the froggies?.

When the French are talking like this it makes you think that the IAF recent strike in Syria was like a dress rehearsal gathering intelligence on the Russian SAM systems that the Iranians and the Syrians both use.
Actually, as bad as it might be, the worst isn't war.
Mr. Kouchner has obviously not been reading his Arry Potterre.

Speaking of which, has Chirac been indited yet?
