I am shocked that the French would do such a thing.
NOTE TO U.S. Military: Next time France is invaded, please remember to ship to boxes of spitballs.
Looks like they outsmarted themselves. Those documents where a prime factor in the war. I guess they should stick to wine and cheese.

Always follow the money.
The French are not our friends or allies. They have not been for a long time. And I do not see their behavior changing anytime soon. The sooner the American public sees that the better off we will be. Always count on the French to do the opposite of what is the right thing to do.
Egg on the face for John 'French Fraud' F'n Kerry and the DNC.
The French have been a US enemy for most of the past 230 years.
So, any suggestions for a U.S. response if this story is found out to be true???
Hating France gets easier and easier every day.
France outsmarted themselves. They were trying to protect their trade with Iraq, a reminder that our "containment" of Iraq had all but unraveled by the time Bush decided to do something about it.
They decided to sabotage Bush, and cover up real transactions at the same time. Because Iraq really did approach Niger looking for uranium, and Niger (and France) really did sell uranium to Libya.
They commissioned the creation of fake documents, passed them to the US, and then exposed them publicly as frauds, without mentioning that they were the authors of the fraud.
But Bush decided to go with his instinct, and went ahead and removed Saddam anyway; despite France's manufactured scandal Bush's supporters decided to trust him anyway; and France is now banned from doing business in Iraq for at least as long as Bush remains in office.
So they are left to yearn for a Kerry victory which will open doors that the overthrow of Saddam has closed to them.
The French are treacherous. We have known it for a long time, but I doubt that most of us thought they could stoop this low. They are despicable.
France sucks!
How much did Chirac contribute to the Kewwy campaign?
The French lost in Vietnam even without Kewwy's help.
