French news headlines:Le Monde: The US continues its antiterrorist fight, this according to George W. Bush himself, who was speaking from the USS Abraham Lincoln.
Le Figaro: Bush: Combat Essentially Over. It's worth noting that Le Monde shows the president at the podium in suit and tie; Le Figaro has him in the flight suit he wore to fly in:
This photo probably would have been better with the headline announcing that the antiterrorist struggle continued, but it's good that we're showing off a president who has worn flight suits for real and not just for the cameras.
While we're at it, Libération has this beautiful photo, labeled "Top Gun Bush":
The title is strange because it requires you to read the story to figure out what's going on. As I say, a beautiful photo, but the caption goes better with Le Figaro's pic.
Libé's top Bush headline, incidentally, is Israel: Bush descends into the arena, a piece which argues that the administration's new proposals are nice but more is required.
Finally, here's Ouest-France, with yesterday's news: Retirement issue at heart of May Day.
