I like how they start off calling this louse "one of France's most distinguished diplomats." I'd hate to see the undistinguished ones.

But he also said that the payments were made in recompense for work he had done on Iraq's behalf. "All trouble is worth a wage," he is reported to have said.

So is bank robbery. That doesn't make it legal.

The ambassador said the French authorities had known of his every move.... Supporters of President George W Bush accuse France of putting its foreign policy up for sale and opposing the invasion of Iraq for commercial reasons. That has been fiercely denied in Paris.

Yeah sure, ya scumbags. I only wonder how much oil-for-food money France's strongest ally, the Democrat Party USA, absconded with? Maybe the CIA knows? Maybe Joseph Wilson-Plame knows??

But that idea was swiftly rejected by BCME's president, who said any such deal would provoke American wrath.

Not because it was wrong but because it would provoke American wrath. I believe we are the only thing standing in the way of world-wide chaos.

God bless America.

Actually I think we should appoint him to Saddam's defense team.

I think you missed the mark by 1 & 1/2 inches. His mother would certainly have objections at this late date. Why don't we just flush him?
