I have a visceral reaction against Jacques Chirac like some have against Bush. I mean, who gives a fuck what Chirac thinks about anything, particularly Iraq? Yuckie...patooie...

He also commented on the aspirations by France and Germany for a new European Union defence system, saying they were compatible with the region's participation in the NATO military alliance.
"Neither the Germans nor the French wish to take any kind of initiative which contradicts NATO which... is at the heart of our defence system."
Let me translate that last sentence, as it may be difficult to understand in the original weasel:
"Neither the Germans nor the French wish to take any kind of initiative on our own which would jeopardize our ungrateful reliance on the American military for our survival."
Prick.
