Some of us were paying attention when it was discovered the Russians, French, and Germans would lose millions in contracts, if Saddam was ousted. Wait! Those folks weren't suppose to be doing that! So, what are we to believe?
Bingo......grab a kewpie doll of your choice.....that is exactly why those 3 countries were so bent on trying to have the US follow the UN's lead in this, as they were all the time breaking the sanctions imposed back when the Iraqi's were accused of gassing the Kurds, all of the little wheeling and dealing that went on while Saddam killed his own people, not only that but the UN and it's Oil for food/medicine policy with Saddam........so yeah "Hypocrisy" is a funny thing...

Oh nihil, some other nice people of French descent are the "Cajuns" and the "Acadians", I am sure most anywhere you find a frenchman who is not from Paris will agree...that parisians are snobs....it's just that when France speaks, the rest of the world thinks "Paris".......

I was in Bordeaux back in 82, and when you talked to the locals about Paris, they would spit, and say the nicest things, kinda saving us the trouble of going to Paris....
