Chirac Says Nuclear Iran No Problem

Raleigh, NC (TLS). As most of you have probably heard by now, French President Jacques Chirac was quoted by several of the world's major newspapers as saying that a nuclear Iran would be no problem, that if Iran had one or two nuclear weapons it would be no big deal. His reasoning? If Iran attacks Israel it would mean the annihilation of Teheran.

Well, at least his last statement was correct.

But what an idiot. What a crazed, demented imbecile. The French people can be thankful that Chirac is on the way out. Under his watch not only did France provide Saddam Hussein with his first nuclear reactor in exchange for his oil, but the country came to be seen as one of the biggest allies in the West of one of the most cruel dictators in world history.

In addition, Chirac is the one who opened the flood-gates to the steady onslaught of radical Muslim extremists into the country, who now have brought France into a state of civil war. Though Chirac won't admit or acknowledge it, officials within France's law enforcement agencies insist the country is in a civil war, perpetrated by Muslim youths, and Paris has done precious little to help law enforcement fight it. The result has been two straight years of violence, car bombings, fire bombings, riots in the streets, and urban mayhem at the hands of Muslim youths.

And now the intellectually challenged Chirac claims that a nuclear Iran would be no problem.

The remark set off such a firestorm around the world that Chirac summoned the reporters who first interviewed him back to his office to say that he was retracting the comments, that he was under the impression that what he said was 'off the record.'

So, in other words, Chirac meant every word of it, off the record or not. He simply did not want his true thoughts on the matter published, or so he claims.

But who knows for sure? The man has been one big canker sore that won't go away for the entirety of his tenure in France.

Perhaps the French should demand that Chirac resign and get him out of the way now rather than wait for the completion of his term. Not only is he a major embarrassment to Europe, but I pity the French people who have had to endure his horrid policies for the entirety of his political career.
