France helped Iraqis escape
By Bill Gertz
THE WASHINGTON TIMES


The French government secretly supplied fleeing Iraqi officials with passports in Syria that allowed them to escape to Europe, The Washington Times has learned. Top Stories

Nuke france.

Who needs their mustard and/or fries, anyway?

Are these the same "intelligence sources" who said they knew Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and WHERE?

France says this isn't true. I'll suspend judgment on which side is full of puke for now.

The french fry wasn't even their idea. Its called french because of the way they are prepared. France also gave weapons to Iraq, under the embargo! And Bush said that we don't tolerate people who aid terrorists or give refuge to them. Therefore, they are soon to be a part of the Axis of Evil.

We found weapons of french design in Baghdad hangars, yet the french continue to deny they sold the stuff. The worst part of it is that they put "Made in France" on the side of the weapons... How stupid can you be???

You don't need professional/government sources to know that Saddam had/has WMD. He's claimed that they've had it since 1990. Even the UN admits he has it, they just don't do ****** about it. During Gulf War II, he launched weapons (a scud variant) at Kuwait City that he claimed he didn't have. So now we can trust his claim that they don't have WMD after he showed us his illegal missiles?



<!--EDIT|T-Monay820|May 6 2003, 08:04 PM-->

Our government said it knew where the WMD were.

The U.S. should let the U.N. in to help search for these things, if for no other reason than people are going to suspect the U.S. planted these WMDs if they ever turn up.

Does anyone see the irony? We went to war after a big bruhaha over Saddam refused to let weapons inspectors in.

He let the inspectors in ... and we went to war anyway.

Now we aren't letting the inspectors in.

Hey Roch, you still like that "Majority Rule" BS? I think I could rally 51% of the vote to support an attack on France.


There are WMD's. Many are, more than likely, in Syria right now, buried, or in other areas of Iraq, the size of California. Today they might have found a mobile weapons lab. Any reason why traces of chemical agents found in the Tigris?

We didn't go in over the refusal to let inspectors in, we went in because of Saddam's failure to meet UN requirements. One complaint was that Saddam wasn't cooperating with the inspectors. And we claimed we knew where some facilities for producing the stuff was, not that we knew exactly where everything was. Our intelligence is good, but not quite that good.

France offers a crapload of art, food and music to our society... just because their politicians are a bunch of hypocritical pricks doesn't mean that they aren't worth a damn...

BTW, french is still the international business language.

I've been there a few times. Trust me, "I" could do without them. They have nothing that we couldn't produce ourselves.

Everyone knew it was a cat and mouse game by Saddam from the start.It was worse than watching a bad rerun of Tom and Jerry over and over again.Saddam could have played this game for another ten years.

The french don't like American ideas. Especially the one on taking a bath every day.

So I assume we could paint the masterpieces of the Louvre... make the fancy cuisine of most Parisien restauants... replicate the beautiful beaches of Nice... hey... why don't we get rid of the French language altogether? Who cares about business anyway?

Like I said, there is nothing they have that we couldn't reproduce. We have better beaches, more diversity in food, screw the Louvre, that nasty-a-ss River Seine, and their arrogant manners. We have that in NYC. You don't think we can reproduce such things? Go to Vegas. France isn't the ONLY place that has antiquities. And yes, we could do without them. They need us more than we need them.

...and they sure liked our "American Idea" of freedom.

It dont make no difference to me what France has given us in art and food.As far as what France produces give me a break.France has become the armpit of socialism and for that i flip them the bird.

The french have no respect for Americans, regardless what they say on TV with that, "We don't like Bush, but we love America" bull. When I went to Normandy, instead of preserving them as historic battle sites guess what the french turned it into? CONDOS! What the hell?!?! I was walking along Omaha and I was asking our guide where the seawall and all the stuff was. He told me that the french tore it down so that they could build along the coast. Talk about the lack of respect. And I think it was De Gaul who demanded that Eisenhower remove all US troops from "soverign" french soil, and Eisenhower asked him if that included the 6,000 buried at Normandy. The french piss me off. There is only one order I wish that the Germans had followed that was ordered by Hitler, and that was the one to destroy Paris. Maybe without their pathetic Eiffel tower, they wouldn't be so cocky now.

To hell with Chirac, to hell with french wine, and to hell with france!

Rebel proved a very valuable point in his post. He can explain how America is so much better with evidence. The french are just cocky, arrogant, cheese-eating surrender monkeys who claim that they are the example of the perfect race, but can't fight a war without losing first then whining to the US and Britain to bail them out.

Being PRO-American isn't being arrogant. Everyone from France "I" know is very much PRO-France, but it's only arrogant when it's us? WHATEVER! Paris is the rudest place I've ever had the displeasure of visiting.
