Genocide for Oil

Chirac has been personally involved in Iraqi oil for 30 years. This little piece of trivia has been conveniently overlooked by the French media, as they labled the US as monsters. Even if the whole subject of WMD never was mentioned, intervention in Iraq was completely justifiable, but the French and Russians would never have gone along with it because of the oil.

The reason why France refused to enforce UN Security Council Resolution 1441 was because of the oil. Genocide wasn't so bad, as long as they got their oil. Vichy France lives. Fü˘% the French. They allowed the UN to be completely undermined, and backed the US and UK into a corner, not for principle, but for oil.
