Well, in my guise as "Shralp" on an international message board, I've managed to get myself banned. Apparently the moderators there think that it's uncool to call people "Saddam supporters" for the mere fact that they scammed millions of dollars off of the oil-for-food program with Saddam's help.
That should make the German (Ragusa) and French (Lady Luthein) posters very happy.
I encourage you all to sign up (free) on those boards and post your opinion of French "diplomacy" in the thread.
Doesn't US law guarantees someone's innocence until proven guilty?
wow I guess we need to take the world court to the world court. Maybe Jacques Verges can be the advocate for the UN.
I'm told Total has already hired Johnny Cochran.
Are you kidding?
Did you read all the "rules for posting"?
NO CAPS. Not more than 3 Punctuation marks!!!!!!!!
The no CAPS would get me banned.
I'll stick with e-nough and Pave, where I can use CAPS AND ALL THE !!!! I WANT, thank you.
Jamie,
I made a New Years resolution that I would never post to a blog where I had to go through a registration process. Right Wing News was a big give up, but it saves me headaches, and its the only resolution I've been able to keep.
Yes, I like to use caps.
See, look at this statement:
Oil for Fraud.
Now look.
OIL FOR FRAUD!!!
See the difference, frogs?
Imminent Danger!
IMMINENT DANGER!
Hey, it works!
Zoomer,
Show me where the pres said Immenent Danger. I want to see the quote please.
Max,
For the aircraft carrier, the mission was accomplished. But if hanging a sign that could be misinterpreted by the willfully stupid is equal to stealing billions of dollars from a program intended to alleviate the suffering of millions is the same in the French mind. Well, that explains why France has fallen so far so fast, and we stupid idealistic Americans who actually do believe in Liberty, just get richer and stronger with each passing year.
De-programmer,
First, there are no charges yet. But are you insinuating that the French government is an accomplice if French companies are found guilty? Speaking of money scandals, it's amazing how Hallibuton has wasted no time in making a buck on the back of your own military...

1) It wasn't Halliburton, it was their subsidiary KBR.
2) They didn't make a buck. They overpaid for gas and passed the cost along.
But don't let anything so trivial as facts impede you.
Case dismissed!
"First, there are no charges yet. But are you insinuating that the French government is an accomplice if French companies are found guilty?"
I am not insinuating it, I am saying it. I am saying it because that is where the evidence seems to point. Chirac's cronies are on the famous list. The documents are from Saddams own oil ministry. They seem far too extensive to be forgeries. They are being investigated by the accounting firm that chased down so much stolen Nazi wealth to the Swiss.
"They didn't make a buck. They overpaid for gas and passed the cost along."
Actually, this is pretty similar to what the "coalition of the bribed", to use Kerry's phrase, if not as he intended it, did. The difference being of course that those responsible for oversight found it quickly.
Once again, the pro-terrorist gov't of France is trying to hide track in their attempts to destroy their perceived enemies, this time via the Oil-for-Scam scam.
When will the rest of us wake up and realize this?
Oil for food program is a scandal at the UN level. Companies getting money from it were from US as well (Halliburton by instance was a subcontractor of Total).
You can critisize French policy if you please regarding its non participation in the iraq mess but the oil for food program is hardly a French thing.
I didn't read any companies names on the Food for oil scam. I saw plenty of political orgs Communist parties and socialist parties of russia, but the most benifactors of Saddams bribes were individuals.
Here is a good article from today's NY Post:
Here's another:
French could match American obesity levels by 2020: study
Great, something new to blame Americans for!
Here's another.
U.N. OIL PAPERS VANISH NY Post
Quelle Surprise! Corrupion? Here? Nonsense.
Well Polliwogs, you can't say you didn't hear about Timmerman here first.
I could never figure out at the time why France Russia and Germany wanted to keep the sanctions on, and the Oil for Food program going even after Saddam fell. Now it makes sense.
I love this line from the NY Post article linked above:
“Now it appears that Secretary-General Kofi Annan's sanctimonious posturing may have concealed oil bribes which reached high up in the ranks of the U.N. organization itself.”
So let's, look at two quotes from Annan that appeared in today’s Washington Times newspaper.
1.) “Meeting with reporters in NY…Annan lashed out at what he called “outrageous and exaggerated” press reporting.” This was AFTER the UN auditors refused to release “internal audits” of the Oil for FRAUD program to the GAO (US General Accounting Office) investigators probing the scandal yesterday.
2.) “Violent military action by an occupying power against inhabitants of an occupied country will only make matters worse.” Gee, guess what side he’s on….and now we know why.
"(Halliburton by instance was a subcontractor of Total"
That's the first thing I have ever seen any of you polliwogs write that puts a glove on Halliburton. Not much of one though. Desperate. Face it, Chirac has destroyed the UN. Even the Canadians think so. How pathetic for you is that?
WASHINGTON -- With yesterday's landmark speech, Paul Martin tacitly acknowledged what Canada's foreign policy establishment has refused to accept for decades: that the United Nations is a failure, for which there is no solution.
Chirac has destroyed the UN
Well of course de-programmer. And the US might as well take advantage of the situation ...
Situation?
Is it all that surprising that Eurotrash would seek revenge if anyone said anything bad about the French? The French are genetic mistakes. Proof that God has a sense of humor. Those who support the French are merely too dim to share that joke.
