The disclosure tarnished France’s moral stand against the invasion of Iraq,..

TRANSLATION: The invasion stopped a lucrative FRENCH scam, the FRENCH acted typically FRENCH

Bush should ask France to give account for their obstruction of UN pressure on Iraq which essentially FORCED the war to happen. Blood of Americans, Iraqis and everyone else who has died in Iraq is on the hands of France.

France was right in the middle of the whole thing. Chirac had his own special relationship with Saddam.

France was one of the group of permanent members on the Security Council who controlled the Oil for Food money and rules, while clinton (perhaps bribed?) turned a blind eye toward what was going on.

According to reports I have seen, most of the Oil for Food money was kept in French banks.

This was not individuals taking bribes. This was a nation selling itself to the highest bidder.

It'd be interesting if we (or the world for that matter) ever sees this in the MSM). Hmmm?

Judge Courroye

Lafayette? Is that you?

My friend! I knew you still lived in the home of our true allies! Screw these Vichy scum!

Just damn! That is one courageous man!

By the way. I did a high school paper on Lafayette, some 35 years ago. I still can recite his full name (at least one version of it).

The Marquis Marie Joseph Yves Paul Roche Gilbert du Motier de Lafayette

Many sources reverse the "Yves" and the "Paul." I actually rely on an original source (who is probably wrong) to list them in the order I do.

Damned fine gentlemen. Nice to see people like that still survive and strive in the land where the Statue of Libery was funded, designed and built. Damned fine.

The embarrassment is not that the French were in Saddam's bed. The embarrassment is that they are no longer paid to be in Saddam's bed.

"Jean-Baptiste Mattei, spokesman for the Foreign Ministry, said: “There is no link . . . with the decision of France not to participate in the Iraq war. This stemmed from our concept of international law.”

Yea right, you lying bastar@. Aside from France's known part in supporting Saddam's regime, why then did they go along with all the security council resolutions, which ultimately demanded Saddam come clean or "very strong actions" would have to be taken against him. Common. We already had no fly zones that where costing the USA billions a year to maintain, what would a very strong action mean other then military actions on the ground. Frigen lying, low life creeps!

Something isn't right in this story.

One guy gets 2 million barrels of oil and makes $150,000.

The other guy gets 29 million barrels of oil and only makes $250,000.

Why is that?

Le Frogs are very stupid about money, it seems.

First, this from yesterday: (French) Banks caught by €5m spy sting (con)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1501445/posts

Now this: "M Boidevaix...29 million barrels between 1998 and 2003...made $250,000 from selling on the vouchers..."

LESS than a penny/BBL!

Guess me Ol' Pappy was right when he said that a Frenchman would sell his own mother for sou.
