The conservative chorus against the French begins in earnest:

The Chirac Doctrine
France’s Iraq-war plan.

By Amir Taheri

France's President Jacques Chirac is "determined" to prevent the United States from removing the Iraqi regime of President Saddam Hussein by force.

Sources in Paris insist that Chirac has decided to use the French veto in the United Nations Security Council, if necessary, to derail American plans for an attack on Iraq.

"If you ask me what will happen next I can tell you there will be no war," a senior French official told me on condition of anonymity. "President Chirac has taken personal charge of the Iraq dossier with the clear aim of preventing an unnecessary war that could destabilize the whole of the Middle East."
