Big difference, "asshole."
We funded them to help a good cause at the time.
France KNEW Iraq wanted it to build weapons.
By the way, you're pathetic how you get so defensive about an article and an unoffensive comment. Pathetic.

"Good" is a very subjective term. Especially since you also funded the other side in the Iran-Iraq war, which one was the good one and which was the bad?

Your point? America actually gave Iraq biological weapons.
By the way, you're pathetic how you get so defensive about an article and an unoffensive comment. Pathetic.
Articles tend to have a lot of words and paragraphs, this was a picture with a note.
And as for the other person, America was getting 71.4% of Iraqi oil in 2000....

Israel and USA destroyed the reactor after the Gulf war...Saddam wasn't established as a threat back then, but France did use poor judgement.
As for USA helping Iraq, it helped very minor in the Iran war, because Iran had previously kidnapped over 200 american citizens...while Saddam had not been proven a threat to world stability.
Also, america never aided bin laden, the USA aided Afghanistan against the Soviets, because the Soviets invaded them without being provoked, much like Iraq invaded Kuwait.

The French are just angry because of their steaming inability to win any real wars.

I'd actually like to make a correction, it's 46.2% of Iraq's oil that America gets, with France getting 9.6%. Damn it, now I need to remember what 71.4% is of...

Eh, I can still blindly hate the French even though it's clear who's going to profit off this little invasion thing.

Has anyone else noticed that every Republican piglet gets more and more childish on a daily basis, especially becasue they can't handle people criticising their beloved President?
Or do you work as a waste paper basket at Phillip Morris?
Propaganda is to a Democracy what violence is to a Dictatorship
Never underestimate the significance of "significant."

I would also like to point out the blatent attempt to change this into a black and white affair. Just because France does not totally agree with America, it does not mean they are on the side of Iraq. There are many shades of grey.
