Probably a good tactic for the French to take. I remember all the mocking aimed at the French for refusing to support UN action on Iraq, wise decision in hindsight!
Besides Obama is unlikely to want to support any new wars, not only is it not exactly something that appeals to his ideology but they can't afford it. Also the republicans became suddenly quite opposed to 'Obama's War' in Afganistan a couple of years ago.
