Yes, it is the picture of irony. When the US led the assault on Iraq and the persecution of the Iraqi people by Saddam was the reason given for that intervention, the French blasted us and called George Bush a warmonger.
Now, the Libyan oil is of a type that is almost exclusively used in France, which is where they get most of their oil. Now that Sakozy is backing the rebels, it is for humanitarain reasons, when it is more obvious than the nose on your face that real reason is oil. i hope George Bush has a big smile on his face right now relishing in the fact that hippocrites andliberals are now in the same position that he was in not so many years ago.
