Go to France and click on the monthly report. It's a spreadsheet, kinda hard to read, but it appears that through Oct 2002, Iraq was a fairly major exporter of oil to France. Not sure what happened but it dropped off in November.

my guess would be they know we will have to go in eventualy and take them out.

So I agree with your points on why France has much to lose from this war. If nothing else, they will have to answer to the US when we are controlling the Iraqi oil fields (if any are left).

i don't think that will happen at all. The us will not take control of the wells. If anything we will secure them until Sadam is gone then turn them over to there previous operators.I would also suspect that France will have a large part in termining what will happen with the fields.

I respect your point of view also - I just don't appreciate being told that what I've said is BS unless sources are present to back it up.

I completely appologize!

I'm for the war, by the way. I love a good ass-kicking as much as the next guy, especially when I can watch it on TV.

I just hope we clean up after our mess. I also hope no one is fooling themselves into thinking this is about anything other than oil.

i agree. I can't say after our past mistakes that I have complete faith in the US government to clean things up and help stabalize the area.
