Wrong, France was in bed with them for the billions they were skimming off the food for oil program.

And just how many poor, completely innocent Iraqi's have been murdered by the coalition forces in this false war?

Tens of thousands of Children, women and innocent men have been blown to kingdom come by allied forces bombs and machine guns.

George Bush is a murderer. Fact. He alone is responsible for the war, as the BBC said today, it was a war of choice, not neccessity.

Bush alone should be taken off to The Hague to face war crimes against the Iraqi people. The man is no better than Hitler and Slobodan Milosevic. Attacking a country that was no threat at all to its citizens.

Yes, Sadam was an evil tyrant, but so are the leaders of North Korea and Zimbabwe. Are we going to war with them?

Americans must learn to vote at the next opportunity. Get that Bush out and replace him with a man strong enough to lead the USA back into the realms of reality.

Bush has done more damage to the reputation of the USA than every other US president combined.
I used to love going to the USA on holiday. Not any more. I can't go to a place that attacks other countries for no reason whatsoever.

And yes, I am totally ashamed of my government as well, (not that I would ever vote for them) for supporting such a war.


Rant over.

No it didn't. I watched a documentary long ago that said just that. Maybe previous French intel taken years ago concurred with the US one but certainly not the recent one.

It was the president who wanted to invade Iraq from the get go. They wanted what they wanted and the CIA provided them with the intel to help them invade Iraq even though the CIA already knew the truth.

Real parrot: repeat things that again are false... Provide a link to your accusation....

The only reason France was business related in Iraq is because it is in the middle-wast, a region were France was present for Centuries : Marocco, Algeria, Liban, Lybia, etc.... just like the US are present in Central America...

You know, before the US, the world was turning...

You should read or STFU.

What do you suppose was in all those convoys running from Iraq to Syria for three weeks before the war started?

:)

You're absolutely right :)

Even if it was true, it's peanuts compared to what they could make by participating in the coalition and having a new market of millions of Iraqis open up.

More bla bla bla and hear say.

How about a link ???

:321GFY

"Blase" is your word and it is inappropriately used when applied to me. I am...and have been enraged...when intel gets it wrong in a major way...and even in a minor way...as I have been on the receiving end of bad intel. PF almost lost his military career because of bad intel in Vietnam. I have said from the beginning that a "lying" President is of little import compared to an intel failure.

In my case though I never viewed WMD's as being the most important reason to take down Saddam and the Baath party as I advocated it within the first year of the "cease fire" Iraq agreed to.

Those nasty facts get in the way again? Just do a search on the un and oil for food and fraud and by the way France ignored all of the un sanctions on iraq.

:Graucho

Again, even if we assume that you're right, the fact that Saddam is a coward who'd rather ship his WMD away while his country is under invasion doesn't make him a threat.

George Tenant testified in open hearings...just a few weeks ago that French intel (among others) concurred...and I personally viewed the hearings. This broadcast was available world wide as well as reported in print media world wide and the French did not deny his testimony. I would say the proof is in the pudding.

Same guy who failed to prevent 9/11, gave false info about WMD's and got fired? :)

*If* thats the case, then perhaps thats the proof that weapons inspectors may have found if a competent leader was in place.

Further, Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.

We sent 11k troops where Bin Laden was. We got him cornered in the mountains. Then inexplicably, the troops told the Afghan fighters to go in and get Bin Laden for us. Pleased to be explaining it?

BTW: Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.

So then all of a sudden we're talking about Iraq. Why? Only the white house knows, to this day.

Connection to 9/11? No.
WMD? No.
Nukes? No.

Why? And where the fuck is bin laden, the man responsible for murdering 3000+ civilian lives in the largest attack ever on american soil? Is he in IRAQ???

God I cant wait until January 1st.

The same guy that provided "wrong" information...yes...but does not alter that fact that France nor Germany denied his statement that they concurred with US intel.

I don't have to prove or search... You bring up stories, well back them up. I searched and found nothing .. lol. :321GFY

Who the fuck cares what Tenant sayed... All along it was all false, so so is this. :2 cents:

Deny what? They already said that based on info from intelligence they choose not to invade.

If France came out and denied Tenet's testimony, the republicans will be all up in arms about how France is an enemy. So why exactly would they say anything?

I don't really trust any government though. If France was a part of the coalition they to would've given false info. It's all about politics.

You clearly care what is said by George Tenant and everyone else in US Government as you bash those in the US Government daily.

That is not a correct description of the position France took pior to the US invasion.

now the Iraqi people has the very right to be mad and hope they not retaliate on this revelation.
