Chirac Passes on Third Term

    the French leader announced Sunday that he will not seek a third term in presidential elections in six weeks. In a televised address, Chirac said he would find new ways to serve his country after leaving office: "Serving France, and serving peace, is what I have committed my whole life to."


I'm sure that the suspected ties to the "oil for food" scandal and the rising Muslim violence gripping his country had nothing, nothing, to do with his decision.
