Sarkozy was elected, not because he was pro/anti-American, but because the French thought that he could fix up their domestic problems. He can't apparently. But that's another issue. | Stooping to mindless and baseless Bush-bashing? France has been mostly antagonistic toward the US at least since Charles DeGaulle was President. Bush was still shoplifiting M&M's at the local Stop-n-Rob.
Chirac got caught with his hand in the cookie jar, plain and simple. He flat out purchased UN votes against the US on the issue of invading Iraq, and he was selling France's vote to Saddam for promises of some lucrative oil deals if he could gt sanctions against Iraq lifted.
Yet not one peep about that shifty, self-serving twit out of all you Bush-hating tape recorders.
Interesting, that.
