History will show a combination: France went for the illegal block on Powell's knees(that's a 15yrd penalty, could get them ejected, & keeps him mad for a while). Germany & Russia both gave him shots(still checking the replay to see if they were legal). At the same time, the neocons caught a piece of his jersey from behind & stopped any chance of forward progress. The problem is the neocons are his teammates.

Zeus Chirac:

>> The bitter accusations levelled by American and British politicians at France for undermining policy towards Iraq are being greeted in Paris more in sorrow than anger.

President Jacques Chirac has refused to personalise his differences with President George W. Bush and Tony Blair, the UK prime minister. He has chosen to adopt a more Olympian tone and avoid the kind of venom being directed his way by Washington and London, who blame the French for sabotaging a common front against the Iraqi regime. <<
