Iraqi govt. papers: SADDAM BRIBED CHIRAC |
Iraqi govt. papers: Saddam bribed Chirac
BAGHDAD, Iraq, Jan. 28 (UPI) -- Documents from Saddam Hussein's oil
ministry reveal he used oil to bribe top French officials into
opposing the imminent U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.
The oil ministry papers, described by the independent Baghdad
newspaper al-Mada, are apparently authentic and will become the basis
of an official investigation by the new Iraqi Governing Council, the
Independent reported Wednesday.
"I think the list is true," Naseer Chaderji, a governing council
member, said. "I will demand an investigation. These people must be
prosecuted."
Such evidence would undermine the French position before the war when
President Jacques Chirac sought to couch his opposition to the
invasion on a moral high ground.
A senior Bush administration official said Washington was aware of the
reports but refused further comment.
French diplomats have dismissed any suggestion their foreign policy
was influenced by payments from Saddam, but some European diplomats
have long suspected France's steadfast opposition to the war was less
moral than monetary.
"Oil runs thicker than blood," is how one former ambassador put his
suspicions about the French motives for opposing action against
Saddam.
Al-Mada's list cites a total of 46 individuals, companies and
organizations inside and outside Iraq as receiving Saddam's oil
bribes, including officials in Egypt, Jordan, Syria, the United Arab
Emirates, Turkey, Sudan, China, Austria and France, as well as the
Russian Orthodox Church, the Russian Communist Party, India's Congress
Party and the Palestine Liberation Organization.

Is that the same Minisrty of Oil where they found documents saying Hussein
was also paying off George Galloway?

So, not only are the stinky Frogs corrupt, but they are also stupid. They
had to have rocks in their heads to think their opposition would stop the
US. They'd have to be sufferring from terminal anal-cranial inversion to
think we would not get hold of documents showing their corruption and
duplicity.

If the prior US president were still in office, the French
just might have pulled it off. It seems that everybody underestimates
Bush.

True, he is often misunderestimated. I think that's one of his biggest
strategeries. Fortunately, most liberals are too foolish to figure it
out. They actually think he's stupid. That's their biggest obstacle. If
they would admit to themselves that GW Bush is a pretty smart guy, they'd
be better prepared to counter him.
