France helped Iraqis escape

Washington Times ^ | 6 May 2003 | Bill Gertz

[Grampa Dave]

I knew what you were saying. Without going into how the data/evidence was obtained by our side, it is very reliable.

That data was relayed to Mr Gertz to do what he did in his two articles.

I'm all for a fair trial of the French Whore$!

[JustPiper]

Why, your welcome Dave ;) I must use the disclaimer that is not this Piper in the cartoon, I'd be leading them into the river, with the rest of the river rats!

[dixiechick2000]

Gramps, I've been searching and searching and I can't find the article I want.

I swear that I read at least one thread here, either during the war or as the statue was falling, that the Iraqi elite were in Syria and Syria was working overtime printing French passports for the Iraqi elite. My point is that these guys are waaaay long gone.

Also, if what I remember is correct, how can Syria print French passports?

[Grampa Dave]

They can't print them legally. However, the French Embassy in Damascus could help them and probably did. Or they provided the blanks and the Syrian filled in the data with the new names and pictures.

Ping me if you find it.

[dixiechick2000]

"...the French Embassy in Damascus could help them and probably did. Or they provided the blanks and the Syrian filled in the data with the new names and pictures."

This is illegal, I would think.

I'll let you know if I find the artcle I'm thinking of but, in the meantime, I have to hit the rack. Babysitting tomorrow! Are you shocked?!;o)

[Beck_isright]

Be careful Grampa..the RINO's are on here again in full force apologizing for the liberal socialist frogs every chance they get....

You might get a "warning" letter from the froglovers if you're not careful.

[Grampa Dave]

Who cares, if they are friends of the frogs, they represent no problem to real people.

Thanks for the warning. Did I ping you on this thread? I forgot to.

No problemo...I got the ping and reposted your great list. I've been fighting the younguns who claim the "french" have been our friends for 100 years. Apparently they were not born in 1963 or didn't have a clue like the hippies!!!!

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks for posting the list. It is so appropriate with this thread.

[Grampa Dave]

I ask them to name one good thing the French did for Americans since 1800?

None of them have an answer!

Try it.

[Grampa Dave]

John, how about a mega ping on maybe the story of the year on how the French helped the top rats of Saddam to escape with French Passports.

This is an incredible story and merits one of your great two centers!

[JohnHuang2]

...how about a mega ping

Coming up, Grampa

[JohnHuang2]

[Grampa Dave]

Thank you Sire. Now an old grampa can go to bed!

This is absolutely incredible what these Frogs have done.

It is like a country rushed into Berlin at the end of WWII and provide passports and a safe haven to Hitler and his top SS Nazis and got them safely out of Germany.

It will be interesting to see if the NY Slimes, Washington Compost and ABCNNBCBS ignore and spike this story.

Thanks, John, I'm off to bed.

[Grampa Dave]

Spoken like a true French Canadian! I could care less what you or your country has to say about what has happened is happening!

If you aren't a French Canadian, you sound like one!

[JohnHuang2]

G'nite, my friend. Sleep well.

[Mo1]

The passports are regarded as documents of the European Union, because of France's membership in the union, and have helped the Iraqis avoid capture, said officials familiar with intelligence reports.

Gee ain't that special

I wonder what the other members of the EU have to say about France using them to help hide terrorist thugs..
