Friends for 30 years. God the frogs must just be wetting and soiling their beds at night at the thought of what we'll find once we get into Iraq.

They might be worried, but in the end they know we'll keep importing their wine and cheese as long as they keep Jerry Lewis.

Bad translation but you get the idea

Well far from seizing l’immensity of the risk qu’il made run to planet, l’actuel French president agreed to negotiate the equipment of l’Irak in technology, know-how and fuel French. These negotiations will reach their apogee at the time of the voyage of Saddam Hussein in France, when, September 6, 1975, Chirac accompanies the Iraqi dictator with Caradache, where it presents various engines of research to him. November 18 of the same year, France signs with Hussein a contract envisaging the delivery with l’Irak d’un engine of the type "graphite-gas", d’une power of 1500 MW thermal. It s’agit already d’un act of insanity, since the engine that Chirac s’engage required to l’egorgor of Baghdad is a true plutonium factory. C’est d’ailleurs on this kind of technology that Of Gaulle built the French nuclear capacity.

If France isn't the source of Iraq's nuclear weapons, I'll eat my chapeau.
