France May Join War Effort
Politics: 19 March 2003, Wednesday.
Despite its opposition to a war in Iraq, France could assist a U.S.-led military coalition if Iraq used biological and chemical weapons, the French ambassador to the United States told CNN on Tuesday.
"If Saddam Hussein were to use chemical and biological weapons, this would change the situation completely and immediately for the French government," Jean-David Levitte told CNN.
Levitte said a decision on any French participation in the war would be made by French President Jacques Chirac in such an event.

Posted by: definitelyfrench at March 20, 2003 02:03 AMI think that it's interesting that the main reason that the French may do an about face is that there is extreme monitary gain to be had from the war. They don't want to miss out on their possible gains. (it all boils down to money doesn't it)
