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?

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.
