Mindless Zombie award for Jacques Chirac. I suppose he can't understand everything [but then again, he seems to be pro-Saddam so maybe he can't understand anything - I'm not aware of anything sensible he has said though there no doubt is something]. Message 18167316 <Last Friday, at the end of a two-day summit of European leaders [October 25], French President Jacques Chirac called for a rescue plan for the European Union's heavily-indebted telecom industry. He asked the leaders to come to a European policy, with proposals to be filed next March. President Chirac said that the auctions for next generation mobile telecom licences were scandalous and they caused the European telecom operators to lose their world leading spot. Chirac didn't offer any specifics on what type of aid program he wanted. > Actually, he scores two for the price of one. He can't understand that the auction process was fine, it was just the bidders who got it wrong. Secondly, because they proved themselves incompetent, he thinks they should be rescued, which can only mean taxpayer money being given to people who have already proved themselves incompetent. No wonder France has gone from building Eiffel Towers to playing terrorist Frogman and their economy wallows in muck and Paris looks as though it is going nowhere - stuck in the mid 20th century. They need less Force de Frappe and more Force de Brain. Mq
