Chirac, you rock

French President Jacques Chirac said yesterday in an interview with the BBC that the war in Iraq has spread terrorism.

"To a certain extent Saddam Hussein's departure was a positive thing. But it also provoked reactions, such as the mobilization in a number of countries of men and women of Islam, which has made the world more dangerous."

He also showed his contempt for Donald Rumsfeld by referring to him as "that nice guy, I've forgotten his name, who talked about Old Europe."

We'll take a super-sized order of Freedom Fries with that...
