France and Iraq Re-Establish Diplomatic Ties After 13 Years
2004-07-12
EFL. ABC reports: News BY the gullible, FOR the gullible...
France and Iraq have restored diplomatic relations that were severed 13 years ago during the Gulf War and they plan to exchange ambassadors as soon as possible, the French Foreign Ministry said Monday. "The two governments are convinced this decision will contribute to closer ties between France and Iraq and will intensify exchanges to the greater benefit of the two countries," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
Nope, france hasn’t had any relations with Iraq for 13 years. If you buy this, france is also selling the Brooklyn Bridge.

#4  So what does diplomatic relations with a country that made billions off the lives of innocent Iraqis mean? It will be interesting to see how the Iraqis deal with a vermin country like France.

#1  "I did not have relations with that country!" I guess it all depends on what your definition of "France" is.
