...It's not a conspiracy, it's a business move to recover 50 billion dollars in yearly income - a move that continues the previous 12 years of French/Iraqi corruption and typical behavior.

It's not like you are going to see trucks filled with explosives that have TotalFinaElf plastered on the side of them crossing the Iraqi border.

France is the corporate partner of Iran and has developed long standing relationships all over the Middle East. France simply needs to give the word - and supplies, soldiers will come via these nations, effectively masked - and these nations will receive promises and compensation.

T, they spent 6 years developing those Iraqi fields for their harvesting, do you really think they are just going to walk away from them???

They are waging the first anti-us proxy war of the 21st century. They do it on multiple fronts - diplomatically, corporately and ultimately with proxy Sunni fighters promised a powerful position in the US-free Iraq.

In Chad, TotalFinaElf was working alongside Exxon and they used their influence to get the US out of those fields. Why? Revenge of course. George Bush Senior let France have its way and respected their multi-billion dollar income, when he left Saddam in power - that was part of the 'deal' for the multilateral 'coalition' - that Saddam remain in power.

His son, after an Iraqi sponsored assassination attempt on his dad in Kuwait, sees how the French reward his Father for preserving their empire, knows from the CIA that the French have been in bed with Saddams weapons programs and says 'scr-- this!' - post 9/11 all bets are off! You can't trust the French. No one ever could.

So Bush steals the French 50 billion dollar a year golden goose - and guess what?

Bush is the devil! The worst president in history! The evilest, Hitleresque man on the face of the earth - whose actions in Iraq are "illegal". French & German held media interests have repeated this endlessly and the mindless masses around the world hear it again and again and finally start to repeat it like bleating sheep.

Don't worry. You can continue to chase the ghosts of the insurgency all over the middle east - but to find out why they fight year after year - you must go to France for the answer. France will never run out of 'Zarqawis' to use and when one is put out of commission another will receive the 'French promise'.

France has also expedited the Iranian timetable in their reactor program to aid their position - and add to the dissension. If France and Russia are seen to be trying to 'limit' Iran they get brownie points from all over the world- when they are only limiting their own transfer of technology!

Fortunately Bush understands this. Even though it, for obvious reasons, can't be spoken aloud without shattering the fragile 'western alliance' of nations and creating two fighting 'wests' - (US & the UK) and (France, Belgium, Germany) even though in the 21st century that is already the reality.
