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



Well, you only appeared in this thread to counter my allegations; nothing
else. You have brought nothing else.
According to your general attitude I assume that if I said that 2+2=4,
you'd
eventually find a way to prove that I'm wrong.
We can go on for days; I don't mind. You're anchored in your beliefs and I
am in mine.

LOL! I merely pointed out that your cited reference did not support the
allegation that the US or its companies engaged in any illegal or improper
activity, and that your attempt to sidestep the facts regarding the French
firms' direct dealings with Saddam and the *amazing* policy decision from
France to seek a relaxation of the oil export controls was coming up short
in terms of supporting *evidence*. Now, if you want *evidence* supporting
the accusations regarding those lucrative French deals with saddam, or the
fact that the individual in question has acknowledged receiving those oil
vouchers, let me know--I am sure we can find numerous references to both,
right?


Whatever. If this NG served any other cause than French bashing and
political dispute, we'd know it, wouldn't we?

So now pointing out that your source does not support your allegation is
"bashing", huh? A little bit sensitive, aren't you? Bashing, OTOH, would be
if I were to, say, tell an anti-French joke, like: "Going to war without
France as an ally is like going deer hunting without your accordion; all you
are leaving behind is noisy and worthless baggage." But I did not do that,
now did I?
