That's the problem : what punishment ?
Because we didn't want to be killed for your war ?

No, because you were cowards making money off
of illegal contracts with Saddam.

The irangate was a pretty funny business too...

France is an
embarrassment to man-kind.


I fully agree, and that's why we love it )

Speaking of which, I wonder if the skeet down there are of any
better quality than those out on the East coast here? Ours here
seem to be quite lacking of white meat...almost all dark...


Ours have dark meat with yellow interiors.

Pretty tough chewing!

Ours seem quite crunchy, good for your teeth they say...

Irangate was pretty deeply looked in to if you recall.

Is anyone looking close at the business of French
contracts under the UN embargo? How about French
handling of the food-for-oil program?

Seems all the investigations are being done from
outside France or the UN.

Not too funny at all.

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.
That is the fact that since 1991 the US is the country that has made the
most $$ in Irak through their foreign subsidiairies, mainly their....French
ones.

Americans have to be very naive to think that France has made more money
than the US in Irak. They denounce Total and Elf contracts, but totally
ignore that US compagnies have been making 100 times more money!!!
Since when does the US stop in front of a UN or other international trade
barrier????
Europe has a lot to learn from the US as far as illegal money making is
concerned....

How about French
handling of the food-for-oil program?


What exactly do you call "French Handling". People here spit on France,
dispise it, and underline it's uselessness and lack influence. And suddenly
we are in charge of the FOP ??? None of the big Five (UK, Fr, USA, China,
Russia) can legaly be in charge of a UN programm. Heads of these programms
have to come from non Big Five countries; just like for the UN Secretary.
How exactly did we "handle" the program more than the US ????? Considering
the power of Washington at the UN, the US has nobody to blame but itself.

You just made my point! Thanks
My source:

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...

contracts with France and Russia?
