French Perfidy Fails Again
Brief followup to a story we've been following, source: Debka.
A failed scheme by Chirac to free two French hostages in Iraqi hands while using them to upset US-Syrian military cooperation to seal border against infiltrators — key to coming Fallujah offensive. Scheme was foiled by last Thursday's US air strike against Iraqi Baath convoy that turned out to be secreting the two French journalists to Syria...
A lovely story full of spy novel intrigue and the French screwing up again--a happy ending.
