Chirac is falling on sword for Saddam. Is he in love with Saddam?

Perhaps he's being extorted by Saddam. No doubt if our government got the goods they'd hide it though - maybe "leak" a few oblique references.

Perhaps he's being extorted by Saddam.

You could be right....pictures of him having a "Menage a Uno" in some Burger King - a la Scottie?

Maybe there are some nasty photos of Jacque getting friendly with a female of another species in a dossier in Baghdad, but it is a certainty that he's on Saddam's payroll and has been since the 70's.

There is a desperation in this talk and behavior by one of the most experienced politicians in France that leaves me concerned about our president's safety. There is something about all this that is not right and, all facetiousness aside, I'm a little worried about what is so terrible that the French don't want the world to find.
