What a difference an election makes
France says must prepare for possible war with Iran:
French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said on Sunday his country must prepare for the possibility of war against Iran over its nuclear programme, but he did not believe any such action was imminent.
Seeking to ratchet up the pressure on Iran, Kouchner also told RTL radio and LCI television that the world's major powers should use further sanctions to show they were serious about stopping Tehran getting atom bombs, and said France had asked French firms not to bid for tenders in the Islamic Republic.
"We must prepare for the worst," Kouchner said in an interview, adding: "The worst, sir, is war."
(Emphasis added)
What a welcome change from the craven, corrupt, anti-American administration of Jacques Chirac. President Sarkozy and his foreign minister have a very clear view of the dangers posed by a nuclear-armed Iran governed by millenarian loons, and they aren't afraid to state it plainly, even if it means cooperating with les Cowboys.
Anyone check the temperature in Hell, lately?
