I do think Chirac would have reluctantly supported the US if they had taken the right action, but I suspect he was far happier to annoy them AND be on the side of law and common sense...

But I don't suspect the French of taking their stance for financial gain. This is the paranoid delusion of a few US xenophobic warmongers, plainly not rooted in reality... they could easily have checked and found the actual figures for French trade with
1) US
2) Iraq (even without sanctions never mind with)
and decide where the French stood to gain financially.
