Insert your own punchline to this joke:
President Jacques Chirac called today for the immediate transfer of sovereignty in Iraq to the Iraqi people, and indicated that France would only approve a new United Nations resolution that recognized this need.
They really have no shame, do they?
MommaBear
One must have a conscience to know what shame is, so it is highly unreasonable to expect France to show shame. They are totally incapable of showing anything but hubris and pomposity.
David Perron
Rather unilateral of them to do something like that.

It is my understanding that France has indicted that she will not veto any new resolution but may vote against it.
The decision not to veto is, of course, good news. If the administration can garner the votes, it can get the resolution it wants.
Even if the administration can’t get the votes it will not matter. After all the UN is irrelevant and useless, right?
Emperor Misha I
I believe that we shouldn’t vote for any resolution that does not ensure the immediate transfer of sovereignty over france back to Germany.
Followed by massive reparations from the french for a wasted liberation effort.
Robin Roberts
Tsk, tsk, Misha. As Emperor I would think you would claim the return of Gaul to the empire.
Emperor Misha I
Not a bad point, Robin, not at all a bad point. But seeing as how I’m already Emperor of all of the Known Universe, it really doesn’t matter to whom the Gauls go.
And the Huns have been so good at pacifying the Gauls in the past.
