Here we have it - France was secretly working with the U.S.A. since it is such a great ally...

Sounds reasonable to me.Saddam,however, is a megalomaniac and anything's possible in his mind.

Old news.
Actually...those with open minds and keen insights recognized this at the time.
Only the dimmest of dims will continue to deny Charaq's culpability.
The blood of American and Brittish troops is on his hands.
Thanks for sharing WL...

That makes France responsible for all our war dead. Chiraq and de 'Vile Lapin' ought to be tried as war criminals. We should get reparations.

Interesting. Had France not given reassurance to Saddam that they could rein in the United States, Saddam would have felt compelled to comply with US demands of asylum. France forced a war between the two nations by giving Saddam a false sense of security.

France is stirring up more stink today by refusing to send in troops to Iraq, and using it's Security Council position to inditimate and extort. France has been twisting India's arm so that they backed out of sending their troops too. Anything to hurt the US.
These vermin must pay.

Thanks for the Aziz news. I think that Freepers and hopefully many others understood all along that France and its pals were responsible for any shots that were fired. Dubya played a masterful game with Saddam and would have brought our troops home without a shot being fired had the Iraq regime caved. But why should they when they thought world opinion was on their side? Saddam made this clear in his Dan Rather interview....why didn't France understand? Or maybe they did....of course they did. Their end game is, as it was under Napoleon, world power and leadership. The bleeps!

This doesn't just cover France and Germany. There were MANY traitors in the U.S. - most of them with a (D) after their names - whose statements and actions lead Saddam to believe that "International Pressure" would prevent the demands of the UN Resolution from being enforced. The blood of every dead U.S. and coalition soldier and every unfortunate Iraqi citizen is on THEIR hands.

Saddam Hussain believed right up to the last moment that the US would not invade Iraq, due to "international pressure". More proof that Saddam unable to think strategically and a lousy judge of character. It was obvious to the rest of the world that we were going in, one way or another.

That's fine, but what about the rest? Where/why the "international pressure?" The answer is easy and far more damning. Saddam had been paying cash, large amounts over the years, to Chriraq and senior frogs to carry his water. Cretin was also being paid.
Both France and Canada assumed that the US would back down. Willie would have backed down and earned himself some bucks in the process.
They assumed that Bush would back down, what did he know? But W didn't back down and Chiraq and Cretin have lost a large revenue stream and a great deal of credibility. In terms of sharing Iraqi wealth, I'd like to know how Willie paid for his new Dublin love nest.

The funny thing about this (and I was saying this back in February) is that if France and Germany didn't want a war, they'd have sided with us. They are many things, but they aren't stupid. Any fool knew that there was a better chance of Saddam backing down if he was presented with a united front. No doubt France and Germany knew that.
So the big question would be, why did France and Germany want a war? (and Russia, Belgium, and a few others).
