Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Villepin expresses support for Israel's security
2006-11-13
French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin who is a man offered unwavering French support Sunday for Israel amid security threats, but criticized Israeli military flights over Lebanese territory. France "stands resolutely at the side of Israel" in the midst of new flare-ups in Mideast violence, and Israeli security will require an end to conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, Villepin said.

"The halt to all violence is indispensable," he told a meeting of the World Jewish Congress's governing board, meeting for the first time in Paris. Villepin criticized continued Israeli overflights of Lebanon following the 34-day war this summer between Israel and Hizbullah fighters, calling them a "violation of the sovereignty of Lebanon."

French officials have regularly complained that the overflights violate a UN cease-fire resolution that paved the way for an end to the fighting.

#6  I think it is a good thing he is supposed to be a man. He'd be one reeeallly ugly woman. You could photoshop that face onto any body and red blooded males would call out for their mommies. As I picture him as a woman, I can only see the wicked witch... eeeh.

#5  Perhaps the sash colour would clash less were he to stop using so much sunless tanning lotion. But then, so many people forget how important it is to blend the edges of one's foundation beyond the jaw line, even if it does leave marks on the inside of the collar, making more work for one's laundress.

#2  Yes Villepin has a stellar history granting support one can trust.

Just ask Colin Powell.
