PARIS (Reuters) - French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said on Sunday his country must prepare for the possibility of war against Iran over its nuclear program, but he did not believe any such action was imminent.

 

Seeking to ratchet up the pressure on Iran, Kouchner also told RTL radio and LCI television that the world's major powers should use further sanctions to show they were serious about stopping Tehran getting atom bombs, and said France had asked French firms not to bid for tenders in the Islamic Republic.

 

"We must prepare for the worst," Kouchner said in an interview, adding: "The worst, sir, is war."

 

Asked about the preparations, he said it was normal to prepare for various eventualities.

 

"We are preparing ourselves by trying to put together plans that are the chiefs of staff's prerogative (but) that is not about to happen tomorrow," he added.

 

Tehran insists it only wants to master nuclear technology to produce electricity, but it has yet to comply with repeated U.N. demands that it suspend uranium enrichment and other sensitive work that could potentially be used in producing weapons.

 

Well, it doesn't come right out and SAY 'surrender', but it IS the French, ya know...

Word had it the French have really upgraded their technology. Apparently, they've developed a new system using the same technology that bullet trains use. With a series of really super-powerful magnets and something similar to the steam propulsion units used on aircraft carriers, they are able to launch - from mulitple sources concurrently - a series of white flags in something like .4 milliseconds.

 

Really remarkable technology if you think about it.
