#2 Everything he says is also a campaign statement. I'd say he senses a wind blowing into France from Denmark.

#3 Lots of press articles in France to the effect that Chirac's 133 years in power were a waste.

#4 French Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy said “Israel must defend itself, and it had the right to do so -- don't believe what Chirac is saying, he is certifiably senile and blathering crap profusely.”

“There is an aggressive element in the Middle East, and that is Hizbullah. As friends of Israel we must advise it to maintain level-headedness and restraint -- everybody is saying this, I don't want to be an odd man out,” he said.

#5 Yes he is running for office but must run against the French MSM who will most certainly denounce these statements. Anti-semitism is alive and well in France ask any common arab or jew. Israel will continue to be made out to be made out as a nation of war criminals and it's actions as NAZI like.

Like most realists he knows that an Iran like regime in Leabanon is untenable and puts Europe a a greater risk. It's not just an immeadiate risk to Israel.
