FOXNews.com - The O'Reilly Factor - Interview with Bubba Condi

"O'REILLY: Jacques Chirac and France have hurt this country and put our servicemen in jeopardy. Am I wrong?

RICE: Well, I think that the French position is not one that we would have taken. We think that...

O'REILLY: But they put our service people in jeopardy.

RICE: And we think, Bill -- and I think this is what Americans are reacting to -- after all that was done to liberate France in World War II that we could have expected better cooperation. But that's behind us now.

O'REILLY: If Jacques Chirac would cooperate in the post-war, our people would be safer.

RICE: I think the French will cooperate in the post-war. "

Now if you want to blame someone for putting American servicemen and women in danger, you need go no further than Bush, who chose an elective war against the wishes of the international community. But of course the Bush administration and ORF cannot say this, and since it has to be someone's fault, it must be that ungrateful Chirac's.
