Jacques Chirac was on old crook, but they knew that when they elected him. He did at least have the wit to oppose the Iraq War. He had been decorated in Algeria. He knew what these things were really like.
And yes, he was protecting French interests in Iraq. That was his job. It is possible that with his passing, we have seen the passing of the last President of the French Republic, properly so called.
