Shocked, anyone?

If proven to be true . . . .

Documents from Saddam Hussein’s oil ministry reveal he used oil to bribe top French officials into opposing the imminent US-led invasion of Iraq.

Saddam bribed Chirac

. . . . it sure explains a lot.

    Whoa…it most certainly does!!! Instead of “No War For Oil,” perhaps it should have been “No Opposing War For Oil” in the case of France!!!

    Hot dawg!! Why doesn’t this surprise me? This should give the Libbies something to gnaw on. But you watch them turn it back on Conservative Republicans in general and President Bush in particular, or at least try to.

    That will definitely be a sight and a half! I think it would either be:

    1) See?!? The war was for oil!

    …or…

    2) That Nazi Bush is trying to set up France to distract us and ruin this country, especially with the WMD-hoax disclosure! Heck, what do you want to bet he was the one bribing Iraq, and France knew about it and tried to “save us from Bush”?

    Now of course, I could be wrong. However, I would think that would be how the libs would try to spin this, if they even touch it, if past reactions are any indication…

    Whoops! Forgot one…

    3) This is just a lie from the Bush-lovers to distract everyone from the Democratic primaries! It’s an election move on Bush’s part! It’s evil!

    I just got inspired by that one watching a local live shot of a Kerry Rally. Remember how the libs were screaming about Bush “upstaging” Hillary with his Thanksgiving visit to the troops in Iraq? Oy…

    I think logically one could conclude that the slogan “No War For Oil” can be attributed to Saddam! Phew that solves that one!

  7. American Girl 1/28/2004 at January 28, 2004 - 10:25 PM

    I wonder 1) how much Saddam paid for that slogan “No War For Oil,” and 2) what the chances are that we would actually see this story break on the news?

    This story break on the news? With the exception of Fox News, I don’t think so. Leastwise, not on this planet.

  9. American Girl 1/29/2004 at January 29, 2004 - 10:06 AM

    That’s kind of what I’m thinking too. Boy, I sure hope this at least makes FoxNews — if it is indeed true, this news needs to get out!!!

  10. peejz 1/29/2004 at January 29, 2004 - 12:24 PM

    What I find disturbing is that these documents have been floating around since last spring and yet we here nothing about it from any news source other than FOX!

  11. The Fighting Kentuckian 1/29/2004 at January 29, 2004 - 12:33 PM

    Disturbing, yes. But not surprising since the other news agencies are such bastions of liberal slant.

  12. peejz 1/30/2004 at January 30, 2004 - 10:38 PM

    TRUE AND IT WOULD KILL THEM TO HAVE TO REPORT THIS! LOL

  13. American Girl 1/30/2004 at January 30, 2004 - 11:37 PM

    Of course it would. It would make them — ((gasp!)) — fair and balanced.
