Chirac starting to feel the pressure at home...I really have never understood his strategy during the course of the UN debate.

Sometimes when you don't understand what a leader is doing, and you say to yourself, 'this policy looks really stupid to me' ... it really is just that. IMO, Chirac's policy was a folie de grandeur.

after warnings from his own party that France had gone too far in opposing Britain and the US, and now faced international isolation.
The French president, described by the newspaper Libération as the "king of peace without a crown", was criticised by leaders of his UMP party for three weeks of silence since the invasion.
