France's Chirac Tries to Sabotage Iran Sanctions

WASHINGTON -- French President Jacques Chirac is attempting to sabotage U.S.-led efforts to apply economic and diplomatic pressure on Iran, according to a report by the center-left French daily, Le Monde.

In a throwback to much-criticized behavior during the buildup to the Iraq war, Chirac planned to send his foreign minister on a secret trip to Tehran in late January, armed with a personal letter of assurances for Iran's Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the daily reported.

Chirac wanted "to send a message to the Iranian authorities that a channel of communication can be kept open despite the vote by the United Nations Security Council" to impose sanctions on Iran, the paper wrote.

The United Nations Security Council imposed a basket of economic and diplomatic sanctions on Iran under Security Council resolution 1737 on Dec. 23.

@Drnaline,

Daring to day different? Then why did they agree to the santions in the first place? If they new they would be two faced about it. I call that cowardess.
We don't have to destroy France, they seem to be doing a good job of it all by themselves.

Ah the French when faced with the enemy (Germany) they chanted "I'd rather be red than dead". Perhaps they need another "White flag factory". The French would sell their souls to befriend the enemy, but Dar you have a valid question why vote against Iran and then open a line of communication? Judas Priest of the modern world.

That's what it looks like to me, Chirac is no friend of this country. Not anything close to what a yellow backed frenchy would have you believe.

Yep I agree, Canada being an appeasing cry baby country I offer Quebec as a peace offering to France. For Gods sake take the damn province we can't take it's hissy fits anymore. It's a never ending daily stuggle to keep up with their demands of " We're Special", growing up that meant retarded but now the PC crowd won't let society use the word "Retarded" lest we offend their imaginary friends.

Correct. Many believe Chirac didn't support the Iraq war because he didn't want to lose the support of the growing Muslim population in France.

Heck, I offer the French-'Canadians'---and l link those two together LOOSELY!-- they can row over as one big badly accented SOUFFLE...yes a peace offering they can work for the french Muslims Dhimmi class...and peace to us for once and for all...then we can finally have Quebec, which we graciously allowed them to live in so they wouldn't have to go back to France in disgrace {bad move they should have all been deported}.

and no offence to the souffe...it's just like a souffle, the whinny snot nosed war losers are full of hot air!!!!

however at least they can cook a little....

END OF RANT!!! {HEE-HEE}
