Here is one of the top terrorists in the IRA clearly implicating France in terrorism,...

I think thats a bit of a leap. They were ex Foreign Legion, not active French army. I have no idea of the current situation, but back in the 70's it was possible to find former American soldiers working in overseas security operations that were in no manner connected th the United States or it's interests. This did not implicate the U.S. or it's foreign policy in any way. Cashiered and reject warriors sometimes become freelance agents with no allegiance to anyone.

That is true, but I understand the bio-reactors in the Iraqi bio warfare plants are french made. Since the boycott by America and the economic isolation of Iraq in an attempt to limit his ability to produce and improve his weapons of mass destruction I understand from other threads that two nations have been very active supplying what Sadam wants, for a price. France, and Germany.

Now we see that very combination trying to protect him, or their own backsides. That stamp, made in France, that would be found on most of the banned equiptment supplied may not be healthy for France in the long run.

Time will tell...
