Perfidy thy name is Chirac

Two cases in point:

  • A French satirical magazine says Chirac has tapped the phone of his political rival, Nicolas Sarkozy.

  • Chirac betrays Blair at an EU summit in Brussels.
    In the latest clash between the leaders, the French president pocketed a deal designed to help him win a Yes vote in France's referendum on the EU constitution on May 29.

    But instead of repaying the Prime Minister by avoiding sensitive issues before a likely May election in Britain, he went out of his way to complain about the rebate Margaret Thatcher won in 1984.
