Even though it seems like Chirac was anti-Bush, it was a conflict about Iraq. The French immediately joined the fun in Afghanistan and they had a prior agreement with regards to Haiti, so those wars were not a problem at all. The problem was that Chirac was trying to solve the Iraq issue with dialogue and he was ignored and ridiculed, so the idea of France not being a partner can well be more due to personal reasons than anything else.
In case of Haiti, France played a minor role helping Canada and US.
US and France target Haiti’s elected president for removalBy Keith Jones
28 February 2004
The United States and France are demanding the political head of Haiti’s elected president, Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
At a special three-hour session of the United Nations Security Council Thursday evening, US, French and Canadian diplomats brushed aside a plea from Jamaica’s foreign minister, on behalf of the 15-member association of Caribbean states (CARICOM), for the deployment of a multinational security force to prevent the overthrow of Aristide’s government by fascist gunmen.

But US, French and Canadian diplomats were adamant that no force should be sent to prevent the overthrow of Haiti’s internationally- recognized government till Aristide and his Lavalas Party government obtain the signature of the opposition Democratic Platform on a “power- sharing” agreement. They know full well such a signature will never be given.

On Feb. 17, Haiti’s former colonial master, France, craftily offered to send troops to help quell a patchwork rebellion which it has helped foment. Over the past three years, for example, French diplomats, in violation of all diplomatic protocols against meddling, have funneled money to Haiti’s principal opposition radio station, Radio Métropole, and chaperoned Haitian opposition leaders on trips and in marches around the country, while constantly and sharply scolding the Haitian government despite President Jean-Bertrand Aristide’s unending, unilateral concessions to his intransigent adversaries. France also orchestrated the European Union’s funding of Haitian opposition groups to the tune of almost US$1 million last year.
Haiti is “on the edge of chaos,” French Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin smugly asserted in a Feb. 17 press conference. He said that Aristide “over the years has let things degenerate” and asked, with almost unbearable irony, “that all Haitian officials think only of one thing: Haiti and the Haitian people who have suffered for too many years.”
France is “ready to act” with other countries, Villepin said, assuring that it was “absolutely” possible to quickly organize an international intervention force because “we have the means and many friendly countries are mobilized.” France has 4,000 troops stationed in its Caribbean colonies of Martinique and Guadeloupe.
