The French government secretly supplied fleeing Iraqi officials with passports in Syria that allowed them to escape to Europe, The Washington Times has learned.

An unknown number of Iraqis who worked for Saddam Hussein's government were given passports by French officials in Syria, U.S. intelligence officials said.

"You folks aren't going to like this but I don't believe one single word of this "paper". France has delt with it's share of Arab terrorist and I doubt they woul drush to help a dying regime like Saddams. It was probably a bad lead someone got and wrote a "paper" on. I bet it will be discredited within a month."

Can I get some? I mean seriously, you must have some great stuff. I thought the stuff I got after all my surgeries was good, but you're way, way, way ahead of what I experienced. Do you honestly believe the frogs wouldn't do this? If so, may I suggest www.democrapticunderground.com for you....

"And no I am not French."

No, but you act and post that way.

If I was a member of the EU, I surely wouldn't want MY security depending on whether or not the French agreed with me.

Exactly .. if I was a memeber of the EU, I'd be a bit ticked off at France for this stunt

<< France formally denies this type of allegation, which is not only contrary to reality but is intended to discredit our "nation," she said. It is certainly time for rumors of this type ? totally unfounded and a dishonor to those who spread them ? to stop. >>

"Reality?"

"Nation?"

"Dishonor?"

Since when did that delusional, squalidly-socialist, systemically-corrupt Brussells-based Neo-Soviet satellite state start fancying itself either to be in touch with "reality" -- or to be a "nation?"

And, never having associated itself with such impediment to serial sluthood, what would france know of "honor?"

EURO-peon twits.

Enemy scum!

<< Wonderful thing that EU, 12 countries perfectly aligned in foreign policy, I'm quite sure. >>

Yair.

France wants the FRankensteinian brussells-based kleptocracy it and its fellow dead and decadent neo-soviet satellite states have conjured up to be an anti-American, "United States of Europe."

We say, "Wanna be just like US?

"Fine!

"Now tell US who all among all y'all will excercise your single un, [wto, who, NATO, world bank, icao, imf etceteras] vote?"

Nathalie Loiseau, a spokeswoman for the French Embassy, said French authorities have not issued any visas to officials of the former Iraqi regime since the beginning of the war in Iraq, either in Syria or elsewhere.

E.D. Hill was just on this this AM. FRance has already seen a drop of $500 million due to lost sales from boycott. Much more to come.

I haven't read all the posts to this article, but I bet someone here has already noticed how clintoonesque the above French statement sounds.

France is in a jam...........

The Iraqis owe France a ton of dough (4 billion?)

They had to do something to try & collect.........

[alrea]

like clinton and the chinese, chirac went for the cash

[Poohbah]

I believe the technical term for this is "a hostile act."

This story provides another solid rationale for why we didn't crow about SH's death during the 3/19 decapitation strike.

France and other Iraqi allies might have behaved very differently if they knew SH was dead. With the doubt, they have to carry on as if SH might still be alive and still has the means at his disposal to spill all the beans.

Doesn't this make you want to reserve a nice warm place for ChIraq and his frogs?

Like a living hell on earth.

[Grampa Dave]

I think that most of us agree with what you posted about the frogs. You posted:

"Since when did that delusional, squalidly-socialist, systemically-corrupt Brussells-based Neo-Soviet satellite state start fancying itself either to be in touch with "reality" -- or to be a "nation?"

"And, never having associated itself with such impediment to serial sluthood, what would france know of "honor?"

Actually, you are the first to connect how the first official response from a France Wh$re sounds like a Clintoon Job.

Good to hear that our boycott has cost the French back stabbers $500 million. This story and its followups should be worth another billion or so in a month or so.

I sent this story out with my email list late last night. A female cousin who is a moderate on the East Coast is now boycotting the frogs and sending this story and the French list to hundreds of friends and relatives. She had some ancestors killed as citizens by the Nazis in WWII, and she is finally livid about this.

We need to email this story to all on our political email list.

Besides what Iraq owes France, they have lost the sweetheart oil deals that they had legally and under the table with Saddam. That was billions each year.

Only God and ChIraq know how much military and luxury items were bought by Saddam and his elites each year.

Now all legal and illegal $'s flowing into France from Saddam are gone.

Our boycott cost them $500 million in a few months. That will grow with this story.

Their economy is in a recession due to their socialist spending.

So like you said, they wanted some of those billions that Saddam and other elites had.

Consider it done.

ChIraq has been going for the cash with his best bed buddy $oddomite since the early 1970's at least.

Now France's biggest Cash Cow is gone.

Their #2 and #3 cash cows, Iran and Syria, will probably be gone before the year is over.
