In a stunning turnaround, Saddam Hussien has relinquished his grip on the nation of Iraq and fled Baghdad. "Not regional offices!" the mass murderer was reported to have shrieked while fleeing one of his presidential palaces. Earlier in the week, French foreign minister Dominique de Villepin had suggested that if Saddam didn't disarm, U.N. inspectors should open regional offices around Iraq.
Historians note that never before in human history has a genocidal tyrant been so intimidated by a man named Dominique. Nonetheless, the Frenchman's manly and aggressive presentation before the Security Council surely turned the tide in the global showdown. Threatening to explore the "uncertainties" and "unresolved issues" relating to Iraq's compliance with U.N. resolutions, de Villepin raised the specter of furthur French action.
"We will not rule out anything," the French official menaced, suggesting that the U.N. should double or perhaps even triple the number of inspectors. This would have caused massive incovenience for Iraqi officials, who would have been forced to find extra hotel rooms for the inspectors and deal with their demands for cafe au lait and pain au chocolat each morning.
In addition, France threatened to create a new bureaucracy with the UNMOVIC structure, which would have almost certainly pushed Iraq's ability handle U.N. paperwork to the breaking point.
Intelligence officials had long believed that Saddam simply could not handle a French barrage of condescension and pretentiousness. Thus, deploying a form of psychological warfare to subtle for primitive Americans to grasp, the Chirac government loosed a steady barrage of abstractions and paradoxes at the Iraqi leader. He finally cracked under the assault.
P.S. - I found this on the internet and dont know how to credit it properly, but it is not my work.
