#1 ChIraq is really going to Libya to offer Quadaffi aid in starting his nuke program again.

The rest of that bullshit is just a smokescreen.

#3 Now, how can a visit by Chiraq confirm a return to respectability for anybody?

#4 Mrs Davis, the same way any coalition without France, even if it involves thirty or so other countries, is "unilateral".

#5 A visit by President Jacques Chirac to Libya Wednesday is the first ever by a French head of state since independence in 1951 and confirms maverick leader Moamer Kadhafi's gradual return to international respectability.

I would not use a visit by Chiraq as an indication that Mo is gradually returning to respectability. LOL! Veddy veddy pooah exahmpoole!

#7 And, at the official state dinner, consisting of roast camel kabobs, the French President received a pair of Daffy Qadaffy Designer Shades. A very special gift.

#8 They can reminisce about the war they fought in Chad. The French won that one by destroying the Libyan airforce on the ground. Deja vu?

#9 Looks like the Western world's, Europe's, and NATO's equivalent of [Anti-American] Radical Islam is still at work. What is it, Chirac - Mackinder's "World Island" aside, he has to know France has a indefinitely better chance of staying French under any futuristic/surreal US Global Empire, whether capitalist or Western DemoSocialist, than one and OWG domin by Russia-China, under Asia-Centric Communism PC disguised as Globalism, Internationalism, Realism, DemoSocialism, Fascism, RIghtism, or Capitalism!? WHAT IS IT, CHIRAC, WHAT IS IT, WHAT IN HECK COULD FRANCE, OR ANTi-USA EUROPE, POSSIBLY GAIN BY HELPING TO SUBORN/DESTROY THE USA??? He's gotta know and realize the Free World is gulag meat once America is gone!

#10 If it generates wire service photos of Kadhafi's fembot guards, I'm all for it.

#11 JM, France never stopped being a 19th century 'great power' at least in its own mind.
