Ham : Je rappelle les quelques phrases, si tu pouvais m´aider ça serait cool...
For a whirlwind 26 hours Nicolas Sarkozy attempted yesterday to recapture US hearts with a message tailor-made for Fox News: America can count on France. And for a moment senators listening to the French president´s address to a joint session of congress might have been lulled into believing that French and American soldiers had stood shoulder to shoulder in every conflict since the American war of independence.
Mr Sarkozy said yesterday the more successful Europe was in establishing its own defence structures, the more determined France would be in resuming its full role in the alliance
But the jury is still out on the question of whether Mr Sarkozy can keep his blitzkrieg of activity going. One minute he is rescuing French journalists from Chad. The next, he is making pleas to the US Congress on behalf of Europe, and assuming in the process that he can speak on its behalf.
staging a major reconciliation with America and pushing through a programme of domestic reform which has eluded presidents and prime ministers alike for the last decade. Something must give, and when it does Mr Sarkozy´s mettle will be tested.
