Chirac sends Bush Sept. 11 message

[ECH1969]

PARIS - French President Jacques Chirac sent the White House a message of solidarity before commemorations marking the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, and he vowed continuing support for the fight against terrorism.

In Sunday‘s message to President Bush , Chirac wrote: "During these days of sad commemoration, I want to express the friendship and solidarity of the French people with the American people."

The letter in French was addressed "Monsieur le President." Next to that formal opening, Chirac hand-wrote another address: "Dear George."

5. Relations...soured...in 2003...France rallying opposition to (Iraq war)

"Relations between France and the United States soured in 2003, with France rallying opposition to the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. The leaders have pledged to put that feud behind them."

Somehow, I doubt that's the way the French would characterize their position regarding the Iraq War. As I recall, they were saying something like: let's give it a few more months and see if they find any sign of WMDs.

6. Actually, Jacques meant to say: "Monster le President"
