French PM: Prepare for Possible War with Iran

When the French start talking about going to war, this is getting serious. From Reuters:

French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said on Sunday his country
must prepare for the possibility of war against Iran over its nuclear programme,
but he did not believe any such action was imminent.
Seeking to ratchet up
the pressure on Iran, Kouchner also told RTL radio and LCI television that the
world's major powers should use further sanctions to show they were serious
about stopping Tehran getting atom bombs, and said France had asked French firms
not to bid for tenders in the Islamic Republic.

"We must prepare for the worst," Kouchner said in an interview, adding:
"The worst, sir, is war."


I still think we can finish the hard fighting in Iraq, and sit back and let Poland take care of Iran.
