ScrappleFace more than appropriately slams France:
Chirac Apologizes for Applauding Fall of Saddam
(2003-04-10) -- French President Jacques Chirac formally apologized today for his statement this morning that "France, like all democracies, is delighted at the fall of the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein."
A new statement issued by Mr. Chirac's office said, "I should not have spoken without first consulting the United Nations Security Council and drafting a proposed resolution. I hope my actions don't tear the fabric of global multilateralism we have tried so hard to weave."
U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan suggested a new resolution to censure Mr. Chirac for his "ill-timed and misguided remarks."
"Whether he's right or wrong is not the issue," said Mr. Annan. "He spoke without consulting the council. Therefore, his remarks have no legitimacy."
And the Celebrity "experts" on the war:
Michael Moore Signs Big Stars for 'Iraqi Freedom'
(2003-04-09) -- Oscar-winning documentarist Michael Moore announced today he had signed a "big-name cast of celebrities" to star in his next film, tentatively entitled 'Iraqi Freedom'.
The movie, celebrating the war to topple Saddam Hussein, will feature:
-- Martin Sheen as Gen. Tommy Franks
-- Harry Belafonte as Brig. General Vincent Brooks
-- Janeane Garofalo as Pfc. Jessica Lynch
-- Sean Penn as 32-year-old Mohammed, who directed rescuers to Jessica Lynch.
Although everyone involved in the film opposed the war in Iraq, Mr. Moore said, "That's no reason why we shouldn't make some money off it. That's the great thing about America. You can hate it, and still cash in."
