3. who exactly would be the buyers?
...if the Iraq gov't is run by the US, who then is buying from France? Al Sadr? Al Queda? Zarqawi?

This is not believable.

4. This is a perfect example of what is wrong in the media today.
The moment that particularly poison accusation was made any host had a duty to make her back her accusation.

Instead, they just let things stand and they know they can get away with saying such ridiculous things cause no one has the balls to call them on the carpet for it.

I daresay we should be calling Sen. Hutchinson's office and demand that she back up her statement with evidence or retract it.

5. So, the French are selling Spitballs?
I thought King George is the only one using "real" weapons to conquer and kill whoever is in his way?

Us "girlie-men" democrats and the French are only using spitballs... :evilgrin:

9. Mmmmmhmmm, wasn't it Fox that said France was giving passports
to Iraqi leadership at the beginning of the war too? That never panned out either, it was, in fact, completely disproven if I recall.

13. Then why doesn't Smirk invade France?
I mean, the Bush Doctrine says that any country that harbors or supports terraists is a military target.

I say we just nuke France. Wouldn't that also make the Freepers happy?

What's wrong with Little George? Is he a wimp and a girlie-man? France is a clear and present threat to our troops in Iraq. France is killing our soldiers.

What does Little George do? Nothing. Faux needs to spread this far and wide. The Pretlzdent is allowing rogue nations to kill our soldiers! This is bad. This is very bad.

Do we need to wait for the mushroom cloud? France does have nukes you know. I think Clinton gave them the nukes.

Don't invade France. Simply nuke it. We have plenty.

What's stopping you Little George? How much longer must our troops suffer and be killed by France?

15. don't paul bremer and richard perle both have homes in france?
seriously, if i were looking to find out who might be selling weapons that would be used against our troops, i'd see if it weren't another ollie north scam.

14. Iraq is now a sovereign nation?
If yes, then they can do whatever they want. Hey, we sold weapons to Saddam long before we decided he was enemy #1 (I thought Osama was most wanted enemy #1). I have seen the photo of Rumsfailed & Saddam. Buddy buddy they were.
Very sick, tho. Iraq buying weapons with OUR taxpayer money to fight American troops. WTF.
