Very interesting! Nice work!
If this is true, which I think is a good part of the story, France is even more complicit in keeping Saddam in power, averting the war and undermining the US. They are more like Vichy France than we had imagined. Gives me more reason to dislike France, if that's possible.

I think it bears in mind that FRANCE also was first in line to make IRAQ a nuclear power.
Hence, the "benefits" of a lopsided oils contract, sort of a quid pro quo of nuclear power/weapons, and thus a payoff to the same....
Silly Frogs. Their bleak history of colonies is only overshadowed by their diplomacy.
