Rough Day for the French Prez!

I briefly scanned through the thread and didn't spot any posts similar to what I'm about to write. My apologies if I am repeating someone else's thoughts.

I suspect the whole incident was contrived. It's a perfect way for the new French President to show the world how tough he is. When combined with the obviously politically driven decision to vacation so near Bush's place, it seems to me that a public "tough guy" image would be a plus for this guy's agenda. Successful oliticians are not likely to act on impulse, they plan everything.
