Sarkozy impresses Bush with his Charm
The French Berlusconi
Nicolas Sarkozy may fast make a name for himself on the world stage. Just not the one he wants

The GuardianSix months in office, and Nicolas Sarkozy has not ceased being an embarrassment on the world stage. From his first appearance at the G8 summit in Germany, where he foolishly called for more delay on Kosovo - a move that courtesy forced his new partners to support - to his fawning visit to Washington this week, France's president is making waves for the wrong reasons. Headstrong and unreflective, Sarkozy risks making an ass of himself.
[Steele goes on to list his multiple political gaffes - use your imagination or read the article]
The glamour of foreign summits is seductive. But even in a global television age European leaders are still judged by what they do at home rather than abroad. Stick to that, Sarkozy. Ground yourself for a while. Otherwise, you may do worse than Tony Blair. You could become the gaffe-prone European whom your colleagues roll their eyes at when you turn your back - the new Berlusconi, the clown they grimly have to grin and bear.

Per the article -- Sarkozy's intervention in Chad was a success. He was able to extricate many of the accused. The incident is a classic case of the "white man's burden" played out before our widening eyes. The aide workers sought to "save" some children by contravening local and international laws.
I guess it can be said they had good intentions. However, intentions not in context with respect usually, leads to debacles--as this case turned out.
Sarkozy's reputation though, will continue to rise as long as he represents and advocates the agenda of Israel and its rich and powerful backers. He does not have to effectuate a single piece of successful domestic legislation, as long as he goes from capital to capital representing the affairs of capital.

Bush should find a blood brother in Sarkozy.
They're both arrogant. Both have a stunted intellect.
They both like to strut around on the world stage, like tinhorn Mussolini wanna-be's and they both are infatuated with Israel.
And both desire to slavishly obey any orders from Israel in regards as to which ME country is the next one to be bombed to oblivion.
