Wrong..the french didn't support the US because we were going to war with 
one of their business partners...Saddam.

Wrong again...plenty of liberal whack jobs came out against the war, but not 
because of the war, but because it was a Republican president...if Clinton 
went to war in Iraq...they wouldn't say a word.

Now I do think that the WMD excuse to go to war was the wrong reason...and 
rightfully so after the fact.

I knew before because of Iraqi operative meetings in Germany with the ring 
leader of the 9/11 attacks was why we went to war with Iraq.  I don't know 
why Bush used WMD, I think the Iraqi/Al-quaeda link should have been the 
reason and he just should have said so.

But even then Chirac would have opposed it because we were going after his 
buddy.

Again...we took out his business partner...THAT is why they went against the 
US....because it cost them money(putting money ahead of terrorism and 
tyranny...imagine that)...not because they acted by themselves.
