Irangate was pretty deeply looked in to if you recall.

Is anyone looking close at the business of French
contracts under the UN embargo?

No they aren't, and never will. People think France fears
investigations
on
Irak will show up more and more "illegal" contracts. Fact is the US
are
the
ones slowing investigations: they fear they would turn up the real
loot.

We'll wait for you.


You just made my point! Thanks

Take your time to answer.

It would be even better if your source actually supported your contention.
Biased as it is, it indicates that the US sponsored contracts all went
through the UN program. So let's get this straight--in an attempt to deflect
criticism of French companies dealing directly with Saddam to secure
lucrative oilfield development contracts (without competition) which were
dependent upon the relaxation or elimination of the controls imposed upon
Iraqi oil exports, and the related acknowledged acceptance of oil "vouchers"
by at least one French national with what has been described as a close
relationship with Chirac, not to mention the subsequent French governmental
initiative to indeed relax the sanctions, you offer up the example of US
companies purhasing oil legitimately through the UN sanctioned program? Wow,
what a scoop you have there...
