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...


***yawn***

That is about as intelligent a response as you have provided thus far in
this exchange.
