How did he lie? I'm perfectly willing to accept that Chirac lied, but I'm not sure what you're talking about. And when you say "it was not a stance based on morals," what do you mean? Why is it a bribe if you give money to someone whose "morals" leads them to agree with you? It seems to me that the essence of that word is that they change their position in your favor. That's what I'm not seeing here.
