Whats mysterious about "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours"

No mystery here. Sounds like a pretty straight-forward case Chirac being bought. This certainly quacks like a duck; any possibility of it being anything else? This man knows that invasion of Iraq means exposure and will go to any lengths to avoid it.

"you scratch my back........... No back scratching here, here's what it is: You stuff my military with WMD, and I will stuff your pocket with billions of franks, or what ever currency you desire.

LOL.

I think the mystery is in how long Chirac has been scratching, and what kind of scratching Saddam will do for Chirac, and why Chirac doesn't want to admit to having scratched Saddam's back.

(so he can keep on scratching it??)
