The evil twins of global "diplomacy" are at it again. France and Israel are once again threatening to attack Iran if it doesn't do exactly as its told. The messenger with this ridiculous threat is the usual bigmouth French FM Bernard Kouchner, talking to the right-wing British daily Telegraph. The man has an ego bigger than the balloon boy's balloon. How can threatening Iran with Israeli attack if it fails to comply do anything but lead to more Iranian intransigence?
But that's not the point with Monsieur Kouchner, the point is to get himself in the news, publicity, like the balloon boy's father, with the fawning press in lockstep to jot down scribbles. He actually confirms that the West is working to an Israeli schedule, in his words working to time that has been "offered" by Israel!!

France FM: Israel will strike Iran without nuke deal : ""They [the Israelis] will not tolerate an Iranian bomb," Bernard Kouchner told the British paper The Daily Telegraph, in an interview published Monday.

"We know that, all of us. So that is an additional risk and that is why we must decrease the tension and solve the problem. Hopefully we are going to stop this race to a confrontation."

"There is the time that Israel will offer us before reacting, because Israel will react as soon as they know clearly that there is a threat," he was quoted as saying." Haaretz
