| Sarkozy: Israel has no better security partner than France | |
| 2011-11-10 | |
...23rd and current President of the French Republic and ex officio Co-Prince of Andorra. Sarkozy is married to singer-songwriter Carla Bruni, who has a really nice birthday suit... promised to stand with Israel against Iran during a 90-minute meeting he held with the World Jewish Congress at the Elysée Palace in Gay Paree, according to sources from the gathering who spoke with The Jerusalem Post. "Israel has no better security partner than La Belle France when it comes to Iran," Sarkozy assured the Jewish leaders, according to the sources. The head of the World Jewish Congress, Ronald S. Lauder asked Sarkozy to push for unprecedented sanctions against the Iranian regime to prevent it from acquiring nuclear weapons. Sarkozy responded positively to Lauder, the sources said. | |

| #8 And that was also true in the 1950s and early 60s, until De Gaulle knifed them in the back. The French are really bad at switching sides at the drop of a hat. |

| #6 /pedant When Sarkozy was very young, he and his mother were abandoned by his Hungarian artistocrat father and moved into the home of his mother's father, a staunch Gaullist. /pedant. ;-) |

| #4 He is a Gaul He's of Hungarian descent. Calling Sarkozy a Gaul is like calling Obama a Pequot. He's French. /pedant |

| #1 Actually, Sarkozy is probably right. More's the pity, given Israel's situation. Somehow, I doubt that the assured Jewish leaders were assured in the least. |
