How ironic: France gave Iraq intelligence    
    by BUDDY AMATO    
   

Now, it makes sense to everyone. The nation that surrendered in two world wars, France, gave Saddam Hussein intelligence.

No wonder the vast majority of his army collapsed in only a few weeks.

With help from France I am surprised they were able to get off their derrieres quick enough to put on their made-in-France running sneakers, and head for that other sub-human nation - Syria.

It's funny how all of the high-ranking officials now want to give up information on the weapon programs and the status of Hussein and his two sons. I, for one, hope that his status is spread out all over that crater that was made after the U.S. dropped those bombs when he was in the middle of eating his French crullers and gagging on a cheap glass of French wine.

But, back to the fact that we are finding out how much the French helped out this piece of garbage. It's no wonder why they did not want us anywhere near Baghdad, or anywhere near records that would point right to President Jacques Chirac of France! Now, the big joke is that they want to be a big part of the rebuilding of Iraq, and they want to have a big say in what type of government is put in place. But, again, that is just like them, after all the fighting is done and all the blood is shed, they want to gear-up for the parade.

The only way that France, or any other nation that did not support the overthrow of Hussein to free the Iraqi people, should participate in any celebration is that they be allowed to open up their checkbooks and send large amounts of money to rebuild, and that's it! Anything else would be an insult to all the families that lost sons and daughters in a fight they did not show up for, and, as a matter of fact, did everything in their power to sabotage. The countries that should be calling the shots, as far as who makes any kind of decisions, are the U.S., Great Britain, and our allies that geared-up, not nations that sat back, like France, Germany, and Russia, who are just looking for any profit that can be made.

France, as everyone now knows, is out of a lot of money because of all the dirty deals they made with this dictator. He's gone now, and that means they are going to have to find another way to get their blood money back from a country whose currency is as worthless as Monopoly money. The only difference is that Monopoly money still has a use other than rough toilet paper.

What I'd like to know is, why in God's name is France still given any power in the United Nations? They say they will veto anything that the United States puts forward, as far as Iraq is concerned. We should, as a nation, seriously rethink the United Nations, and what its role, if any, should be in other future world problems.

If countries, such as France, are going to be a rock in the gears of our war on terrorism we should dislodge them as soon as possible.
