Reply #22: No, this is NOT the smoking gun.

I downloaded it and when someone asks a question, you can hear THAT person and their echo, just like when * is speaking. ALSO, you hear the translator speaking in the same "way" when Chirac starts to talk. I think that what they're picking up is the delay they're using for the translator.

Listen to the full clip and you'll agree.

I do however question the part I mentioned above, when Bush messes up at near the beginning of the clip.
