Come on guys. Let's not get too pissed.
Dog 1, the French are still our allies. There are a number of options available to them more forceful that they are not taking. When the fight is on, people don't care how big you are, or if they'll loose. I know I don't.
This is just business. It's how the game is played. I'm not saying you don't have a right to be angered by the French government. However, I do believe it would be a huge mistake to ruin an over sixty-year relationship over someone like Saddam. The US does the same thing everyday to our allies in the UN. It's just how things are.
As Tzar stated, read between the lines. Go beyond the tough talk and threats. That's where the truth lies.
