#1  Jacques chitrac looks like he could be in hot water now-more excellent news this.lets all hope that chitrac is somehow dragged into this.I'm hoping george gallaway might be involved in this little lot too.

#2 I think france should lose its 'permanent' seat on the Security Council over this. Give it to Australia (there are too many EU members on the council anyway).

I wonder if Koffe's (Pres of the UN) is on that list anywhere.....

#8 CrazyFool - EXECLLENT IDEA.

Everyone else... How can we do this? This highlights an excellent problem with the UN... Who did you vote for in the UN? They aren't held accountable to the people they say they represent.

#9 Scumbag chiraq is guaranteed immunity as long as he holds office. Don't expect a perp walk from this scumbag anytime soon (but it would be nice to see the quisling foreign minister in jail).

#10 Chirac is bright enough (I think) to have at least a few middlemen between him and Saddam. I wonder if these people are still alive.

#11 Given the iron grip the French elites have over the media the French populace will not hear about this or so strongly distorted Chirak will pass for a hero. Anyway the French political system does not allow the people to meddle in the selection of candiadates so in the end it will be a fight between the "Official candiadte of the Left" (but the left is in coma) and the "Official candidate of the Right". And Chirac has virtually locked the people who select the Right wing candidate.

#17 You dont think Chitrac would do it in his own name do you? Like mhw said he probably has a few middle men in between.....

#20 One of the names on the list, a Canadian, appears to be Arthur Millholland, a director of Oilexco, a Canadian oil company. 9 million barrells to someone called Arthur Mill Holland in the story. Same guy? Sure looks it.
