France Agrees to Iraq Attack After U.S. Apology
(2003-02-17) -- France has agreed to help attack and disarm Iraq, thanks to a personal apology from U.S. President George Bush which was sparked by results of a new poll.
According to Reuters a recent French opinion poll showed that "Offered a choice of three reasons to best explain why they opposed going to war, 76 percent of the anti-war camp said they "dislike they way the United States is behaving in the crisis".
Just nine percent said the were mainly against military action because Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was not a threat to international security and 13 percent chose to explain their view by saying the crisis did not affect France's interests.
As soon as President Bush became aware of the results of the poll, he called French President Jacques Chirac and said, "We're really sorry for how we have behaved. I hope you can forgive us."
President Chirac graciously accepted the Bush apology and ordered Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin to introduce a new resolution in the U.N. Security Council authorizing force to disarm Iraq.
Mr. de Villepin announced, "France is now prepared to help the U.S. lead a 'coalition of the wheedling' to overthrow Saddam."
