BBC: French Ready to Apologize to Iraq

by Stephan Tawney on August 27, 2007

Now if only the Congress, who’s accomplished nothing except attacking the Iraqi government for only doing a few things, would apologize.

French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner has offered to apologise to Iraq if he had meddled in its affairs.

The statement comes a day after Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri Maliki demanded an official apology because Mr Kouchner had suggested he resign.

…Last week Mr Kouchner said the Iraqi government was “not functioning” and was quoted saying he had told the US that there was strong support in Iraq for Mr Maliki to resign and he “has got to be replaced”.

In an interview with RTL radio on Monday, Mr Kouchner said: “I think that he [Mr Maliki] misunderstood, or that I was not clear enough that I was referring to comments I heard from Iraqis I talked to.”

“If the prime minister wants me to apologise for having interfered so directly in Iraqi affairs, I’ll do it willingly,” he said.

Even Jay Leno pointed out the stupidity of this Congress, who’s done nothing, criticizing a developing government for only doing 8 of 18 objectives. Just the other day, Iraq’s religious leaders issued a fatwa against violence. They also agreed to several key measures. Major H/t to Gateway Pundit.
