#1 Aaaah oui, Paradis perdu! "The former French interior minister received' his little voucher "for 11 million barrels." Is this the same French government which refused to assist in the ouster of the former paymaster in Baghdad? Oui, oui! Maurice Chevalier, singing Thank Heaven for Little Barrels of Oil", La Grande Illusion

Then we have "The Russian foreign ministry received a voucher for 55 million, while Zhirinovsky, a hardline commie, 'got a voucher for 53 million barrels and the Russian Communist Partyâs voucher totalled 110 million barrels'. Commies playing the oil markets. Now comrades what would the peasants say about this neo-capitalist swine with the phoney red mask selling out for barrels of crude oil.

I wonder if some of the same player in the shaddy Saddam oil deals have even greater deals with the current (soon to be altered)Iranian government?

Possible; the international oil business has always had a shady aspect.
