Saddam Hussein at a nuclear reactor in France in 1975. Jacques Chirac is at right in the glasses. Saddam wanted a nuclear reactor capable of producing plutonium for nuclear weapons. France supplied its Osiris reactor which was named Osirak (Osiris + Iraq]. It was being erected when it was destroyed in a Sunday strike [June 7, 1981] by the Israelis, timed to save the lives of the French scientists helping with the construction.

Thank you as well...I have it bookmarked. By the way, I have DI with Jack Webb on tape...sensational movie back when movies had ACTORS in them!

Look closely at the scene where Webb is sitting behind the desk and you'll see him wearing a girdle. Webb was a disgusting fatbody.

It is not generally known that it was after the Ayatollah Khomeini was expelled from Iraq that the French allowed him to live in France. From there he continued to plot until he returned to Iran. This was all part of a French policy to woo Saddam Hussein and split the Shah of Iran from the United States. The French were successful on both parts. By the mid 1970s Paris had already supplanted the Soviets as arms supplier to Iraq and then began their effort to provide a nuclear reactor. Simultaneously, they did nothing to prevent the activity of Khomeini.
