Yes, France has a substantial oil deal with Saddam Hussein. That deal is null and void once Saddam is ousted. It makes you wonder if France has been supporting Iraq in other ways. I guess we may find out pretty soon. It won't be a good thing for Prime Minister Chirac when that truth is exposed. I guess that's why today they are saying there's a possibility of helping the United States in the war if chemical weapons are used. He must want to make sure his guys find his illegal trades before England or the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will help incase Iraq use chemicals. So if they think that Iraq has chemicals. Doesn't this mean they have had them all along. I am not buying anymore French products.

They are partially responsible for Saddam still being in power, obviously, and have been selling bomb parts (France) as late as January to Saddam. Because they want to stand up to America, they split the security council, and have caused us to have to go to war. If they would have stood with us, we most likely could have averted war, and Saddam would already be ousted. The UN has made themselves worthless, and teethless because they don't back up their resolutions or even their sanctions. The countries that have been breaking the sanctions, need to face some kind of consequences for their actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

France and Germany both have a serious stake in oil in Iraq. Iraq has been selling oil at the cheapest rate on the free market for 20 years to France and Germany. A war with Iraq would put a freeze on oil prices and force them to buy on the open market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russia and Germany also have a hand in abetting Iraq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they have been a pretty good customer to the war industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless of course you found this on some website that perpetrates lies/fabrications for its own agenda. Likely this was in the 80's or even earlier, before Saddam became the enemy of most of the civilized world. I will eat my words if I am wrong, but I don't hear this in the mainstream media one accord, and that makes it suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis Miller *********************************** Q: Why does France graciously plant trees on both sides of every street, road and highway in the nation? A: So that invading armies can march in the shade. ******************************************* House Speaker Dennis Hastert is so angry at France for opposing White House policy on Iraq that he's proposed requiring orange warning labels on every bottle of imported French wine. Let's guess. The warning label will read, Just Two Glasses Could Make Dictators with Mustaches Appear Less Threatening than They Really Are. ******************************************* Why did the French celebrate their World Cup Championship in 2000 so wildly? It was the first time they won anything without the help of the U.S. ******************************************** What do you call a French fighter coming to the rescue of American and British soldiers in the Iraqi desert? A Mirage ******************************************* President Bush and the french ambassador to the U.N. were debating the Iraqi crisis. The President tried to explain through an interpreter that if we don't stop Hussein soon, he will obtain nuclear weapons. He further explained that should that happen, any future likely conflict with the madman could result in a bloodbath. The french ambassador, although, did not understand. It seems there is no word for"bath" in french. ***************************************** What does "Maginot" mean in English? A: Welcome! ******************************************** What do you call 100,000 Frenchmen with their hands up? The Army. ******************************************** Why don't they have fireworks at Euro Disney? Because every time they shoot them off, the French try to surrender. ******************************************** Anyone see the French Military Rifle on eBay? It's never been shot and only dropped once. ******************************************** Why do we need France on our side against Saddam and Osama? So the French can show them how to surrender. "France has neither winter nor summer nor morals. Apart from these drawbacks it is a fine country. France has usually been governed by prostitutes." ---Mark Twain "I just love the French. They taste like chicken!" ---- Hannibal Lecter While speaking to the Hoover Institution today, Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was asked this question: "Could you tell us why to date at least the Administration doesn't favor direct talks with the North Korean government? After all, we're talking with the French." The Secretary smiled and replied: "I'm not going there!" "I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me." --- General George S. Patton "Going to war without France is like going deer hunting without your accordion." --Norman Schwartzkopf "We can stand here like the French, or we can do something about it." ---- Marge Simpson "As far as I'm concerned, war always means failure" ---Jacques Chirac, President of France "As far as France is concerned, you're right." ---Rush Limbaugh, "The only time France wants us to go to war is when the German Army is sitting in Paris sipping coffee." --- Regis Philbin There was a Frenchman, an Englishman and Claudia Schiffer sitting together in a carriage in a train going through Provence. Suddenly the train went through a tunnel and as it was an old style train, there were no lights in the carriages and it went completely dark. Then there was a kissing noise and the sound of a really loud slap. When the train came out of the tunnel, Claudia Schiffer and the Englishman were sitting as if nothing had happened and the Frenchman had his hand against his face as if he had been slapped there. The Frenchman was thinking: 'The English fella must have kissed Claudia Schiffer and she missed him and slapped me instead.' Claudia Schiffer was thinking: 'The French fella must have tried to kiss me and actually kissed the Englishman and got slapped for it.' And the Englishman was thinking: 'This is great. The next time the train goes through a tunnel I'll make another kissing noise and slap that French **#@!@# again.' "The French are a smallish, monkey-looking bunch and not dressed any better, on average, than the citizens of Baltimore. True, you can sit outside in Paris and drink little cups of coffee, but why this is more stylish than sitting inside and drinking large glasses of whiskey I don't know." --- P.J O'Rourke (1989) Next time there's a war in Europe, the loser has to keep France. An old saying: Raise your right hand if you like the French.... Raise both hands if you are French. "You know, the French remind me a little bit of an aging actress of the 1940s who was still trying to dine out on her looks but doesn't have the face for it." ---John McCain, U.S. Senator from Arizona "You know why the French don't want to bomb Saddam Hussein? Because he hates America, he loves mistresses and wears a beret. He is French, people." --Conan O'Brien "I don't know why people are surprised that France won't help us get Saddam out of Iraq. After all, France wouldn't help us get the Germans out of France!" ---Jay Leno "The last time the French asked for 'more proof' it came marching into Paris under a German flag." --David Letterman REPLACEMENTS FOR THE FRENCH NATIONAL ANTHEM: "Runaway" by Del Shannon, "Walk Right In" by the Rooftop Singers, "Everybody's Somebody's Fool” by Connie Francis, "Running Scared" by Roy Orbison, "I Really Don't Want to Know" by Tommy Edwards, "Surrender" by Elvis Presley, "Save It For Me" by The Four Seasons, "Live and Let Die" by Wings, "I'm Leaving It All Up To You" by Donny and Marie Osmond, "What a Fool Believes" by the Doobie Brothers, "Don't Worry, Be Happy" by Bobby McFerrin "Raise Your Hands" by Jon Bon Jovi How many Frenchmen does it take to change a light bulb? One. He holds the bulb and all of Europe revolves around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My intent was to encourage thought on a subject that the liberal media dare not expose as fact. It sure hasn't been exposed up here. One conscientious Canadian actually did print the truth in a letter to the editor in today's local paper. At least when I lived in the United States, I gratefully voted for a man that doesn't cave in to warped polls. Of the people, by the people, and for the people. As George Bush said on Monday night, "May God continue to bless America." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
