The truth is that France enjoyed minor economic ties with Saddam.

Check out the Alcatel contract to rebuild the telecom grid in
Baghdad before Hussein was knocked over. More than minor economic
ties.

Not before but *after* Saddam fall.
Nothing to do with Saddam regime.

And *before* my previous statement is correct.
