Wouldn't surprise me in the least that the French knew all about this Iraq-Africa connection, mainly because they were helping the Iraqis get the needed components. Could this be just one more piece of info that will shut the Dems up?

Germany, Japan and Spain are the others

Let's not forget...it was FRANCE who provided the Iraqis with the Nuclear Reactor and all the technology behind it at Osirac...under Jacues Chiraq in the late 70's!
It took Israel to take it out before it became operational.
Now, doesn't it make a whole lot of sense that since France had no problem violating ALL the embargo terms and sold weapons illegally to Hussein, that a FRENCH owned mine in Niger MIGHT be willing to sell the Uranium Yellowcake?

Remember watching the coverage of Hans Blix's report to the UN Security Council? ElBaradei was very quiet and short on words. Volunteered nothing.
BUT, as soon as the Niger document came up, ElBaradei was forthcoming, quick with a response, and volunteered information.
