France betrayed all those that thought her a friend. WMDs may have
been an intelligence failure, but the Total/Elf deals were criminal
behavior.

What about the juicy contracts US oil companys were about to sign with the
Taliban, during the summer before 9/11 ??? You know, the pipelines
through
Afghanistan.....

Can you point to any embargo or trade restrictions that prevented those
negotiations? No? Was there any competition from other forms for such
pipeline rights allowed? Yes? Now tell us how that compares to French
companies, and the French government, climbing into bed with Saddam, who was
under operating under an embargo, and then amazingly started talking about
relaxing or eliminating samesaid embargo. Go ahead, give it your best shot.


2 wrongs don't make 1 right, but just stop giving out moral lessons, OK?

But how do you come up with US firms negotiating a contract that was not
dependent upon relaxation of trade restrictions with the situation where
France sold its foreign policy to the highest bidder, in this case Saddam,
who was subject to embargo?


Your country is a shameless whore.

Hey; you need one to know one!

We don't need one--one France is more than enough for the rest of the world.
