Jacques in a Box

Fox News

French President Jacques Chirac shocked a group of journalists this week with this statement about Iran's nuclear program: "I would say that what is dangerous about this situation is not the fact of having a nuclear bomb. Having one or perhaps a second bomb a little later, well, that's not very dangerous. But what is very dangerous is proliferation."

Chirac summoned the reporters back the next day to retract the comments, saying he thought he was off the record.
