… is my enemy.
[Italian diplomats] say that France’s intelligence services used an Italian-born middle-man to circulate a mixture of genuine and bogus documents to “trap” the two leading proponents of war with Saddam into making unsupportable claims.
Golly… I wonder why?
According to an account given to The Sunday Telegraph, France was driven by “a cold desire to protect their privileged, dominant trading relationship with Saddam, which in the case of war would have been at risk”.
I’ll bet the folks in the prosecutor’s office of the International Criminal Court would like to have a chat with Jacques Chirac and Dominique DeVillepan (who is a man).
Oh. No, I guess they wouldn’t.
Via Mr. Minority.

Doug Giles is on fire in his Saturday column at Townhall.com.
On John Flipper Kerry:
If he didn’t have his wife’s late husband’s money to prop up his feckless political career or Doug Brinkley’s plastic surgical biographical skills to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear, he would be working at a Border’s bookstore, hosting their “Americans for Socialism” poetry read during Tuesday’s Open Mike Night.
On Rudy Giuliani:
What kind of sweat is entailed in getting the liberals’ teetering moderate constituency to look away from Giuliani who might differ from President Bush on social issues but properly gives them a backseat to the main cause at hand: the war on terror?
On Laura Bush:
Laura Bush could have read beef jerky recipes, yodeled, gargled with Listerine and played the spoons and still come off better than Teresa Heinz Janis Joplin Kerry did at the Democrats’ convention.
On Zell Miller:
To have a Democrat systematically pull their wet noodle candidate apart like an eagle on a rabbit carcass, probably leaves a stubborn Democrat no other recourse or relief than sucking on a brew or ten.
In summary:
Bush’s double-digit lead in the polls boils down to the fact that in the midst of our social and fiscal differences, we understand something that the left doesn’t seem to get: we are at war….
Not a bad column, not bad at all.
