Defend Democracy — After Iraq, British parliamentarians discover Libya – how Cameron and Sarkozy destroyed it

Astounding incompetence based on bad intelligence, faulty analysis, and wishful thinking.

The disturbing thing is that the report is OK with provoking regime change in a sovereign country. The report criticizes the means instead. Imperialism and colonialism are alive and well as "the white man's burden."

France 24 — US spied on last three French presidents, WikiLeaks says

The United States National Security Agency spied on French presidents Jacques Chirac, Nicolas Sarkozy and François Hollande, WikiLeaks said in a press statement published on Tuesday, citing top secret intelligence reports and technical documents.

WikiLeaks said its "Espionnage Élysée" files include secret NSA intelligence reports and technical documents on the communications of high-level French officials over the past 10 years.

The documents derive from NSA surveillance of Hollande as well as former presidents Sarkozy (2007–2012) and Chirac (1995–2007). French cabinet ministers and the French ambassador to the United States were also targeted.

Among the issues addressed in the intercepted communications were "some of the most pressing issues facing France and the international community," WikiLeaks said, including the global financial crisis, the Greek debt crisis and the leadership of the European Union.

First Germany, now France.

Sarkozy details plan to revive French economy

I guess he can't add using signs. He thinks a minus is a plus.

Looks like he is a goner in the coming election.
