#4 "before the Chirac and De Villepin ( a man - given away by the adam's apple) era"

Yup back in the old days, when France was tough and stood with the West - when her leader was Socialist Francois Mitterand :-)

#5 France's nuclear weapons have never been directed solely against the Warsaw Pact, but in the direction of all threats (de Gaulle's tout azimut)

#8 "These evolutions are aimed at better taking into account the psychology of the enemy," defence minister Michèle Alliot-Marie said after President Chirac's warning in January.

Interesting! She used the "psychology" word of their enemy. Iran's the only one popping up on the radar in that arena right now, methinks! And, I honestly gotta wonder what the MM's think about being threatened by France (of all people) and by a female "Defence Minister," to boot!
