French news headlines:Le Monde: Baghdad Bombed, South Still Enmeshed in Combat. The main note is GW Bush's resolve to pay "le prix fort" to knock out Saddam if necessary.
Also, Former Minister Close to Chirac Pursued in Investigation into Parisian Municipal Gov't Salaries. The only novelty is that a Paris politician other than Chirac is at the center of the inquiry.
Le Figaro: Seven Civilians Killed By Americans. Would they have raced an Iraqi checkpoint and expected anything different? In similar situations, Americans soldiers have been killed or injured by vehicles acting in exactly the same way. For all we know, the people in this vehicle had the same intent. It's just another part of how Saddam's people have forced us to be harsher and colder than we would otherwise. Which is why this must end with his elimination: The Iraqi people need to have this yoke lifted off of them.
Libé: American Errors in the South. Regarding the story above, of course. But give Libé credit. They're the only ones who also find a bullet point for the fact that Iraqis even fired on our troops from an ambulance, perhaps hoping that if we responded the headline would simply say, "Americans Destroy Ambulance."
