You did not hear correctly, Jurgen. Three months ago, spare parts for french helicopters and Mirage were smugled into Iraq by a company based in Saudi Arabia. The french government had nothing to do with it. I am getting tired of the permanent french bashing while Russia, China, Germany have also voiced similar positions (just to name a few).

That is why I said "If that is true, it is appalling." I did not hear it over widespread news agencies, so I did not know if it was true. Now I know it was wrong, and I will not spread that rumor again.
There is no love between the French and Americans. Why try to hide it?
[arrogant american persona]Personally, I feel the US needs to stop trying to please everyone. Then China, Asia, and Europe would realize how badly they need us.[/arrogant american persona]
