Thanks My source: http://www.truthout.org/docs_01/02.2...rcumvented.htm 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. Brooks |

Well, you only appeared in this thread to counter my allegations; nothing else. You have brought nothing else. Kevin's contribution to ram is mostly noise. 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. It could go on forever. Whatever. If this NG served any other cause than French bashing and political dispute, we'd know it, wouldn't we? There is a thread about French airplanes. |

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? Brooks PHB |

That is hardly a reliable, credible source, it is more like the rantings or some extreme left wing loons. Try to be a little less duplicitous. Al Minyard |

Al Minyard Since french bashing has become such a popular sport world wide, there is talk of an international tournament to determine the World Champion. |

Are you trying to say you don't know who your daddy is ? -- When dealing with propaganda terminology one sometimes always speaks in variable absolutes. This is not to be mistaken for an unbiased slant. |
