France helped Iraqis escape

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.

[Howlin]

I agree about the WMD. Getting France in the meantime is just Bonus Points to me.

[Grampa Dave]

I don't know who are the biggest liars the Syrians or the Frogs! They have the same culture.

[Howlin]

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.

[Grampa Dave]

Looks like the French did it to us again!

[nopardons]

Was Syria, at one time, a French colony, or at least under French something or other ? Lebanon was; I know that, at least.

[nopardons]

Nope ! :-(

[Grampa Dave]

I'm sure that the French Oil Company is the dark sided Elf Oil Company.

They are truly international criminals who would do anything for a Euro or $.

[Grampa Dave]

Lebannon had all type of French Connections.

There has been a long time relationship between Syria and France.

[hchutch]

F*** the French. They just went on the s*** list, and won't be off for a long time...

[Grampa Dave]

There may be a job for you Gentlemen.

Get your passports ready to visit our friends in Euro land.

We may send Squantos up to Canada to search out these fleeing mass murderers.

[Grampa Dave]

They have been on my list for a long time. Now that is a life time list for me.

They have enabled mass murderers, rapists, torturers as bad as the Nazis to escape and run to Europe or ?. This makes them as guilty as those who they abetted.

[nopardons]

Thanks, I thought so. At the shindig, in Paris, in 1918, England took what she thought were the " best " bits...Egypt,Palestine,etc. and left Franch the dregs...Algeria, Lebanon, etc., since they both knew that the USA wasn't into empire buiding.

[Grampa Dave]

Here is my French product/services/companies to boycott list. It is very appropriate tonight and for the rest of my life!

French Products to Buycott!

Make it a lifestyle to avoid French products.

Let them fear the American Street---our combined wallets.

"France has burned too many bridges!"

Lets keep burning those bridges that the slimey and worthless frogs.

French Products to Buycott

We can resist their wines which usually come in behind the good Napa Valley Wines and Australian wines in blind tasting without French Judges like in the Winter Olympics.

We can do without French Products and services for the rest of this decade. Here is a list of French companies and their products to avoid for the rest of this decade. Please keep this list and send it to your relatives, friends and fellow conservatives via e and snail mail!

[Grampa Dave]

You are correct, Britain took the best of the middle east under her wing and left the dregs as you call them Lebanon and Algeria to the Frogs.

[Grampa Dave]

I will be off the board for about an hour. I will be making some phone calls about this latest Frog mess.

Back sometime after 10 PDT!

[Barnacle]

The French are worse than the Russians. You know why? It’s because in addition to the despicable offenses in of themselves - add treachery.

We expect such behavior from long standing enemies such as the Russians, but the French presented themselves as our friends.

As stab in the back always hurts worse.

[b4its2late]

And Saddam paid Chirac and his cronnies big bucks since 1975 for those passports.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

The French support, which was revealed through sensitive intelligence-gathering means,

So we found some more documents or what?

Better have this on the Bush reading list!

If I was one of those top leaders - I might not be too comfortable in France if I were one of those having incriminating evidence against the French. Maybe there are many in France not wanting America to have access to them.

[Carry_Okie]

Put Venezuela on that list, maybe Brazil too.
