tejek,

re:But do you think that's the entire reason why France is jeopardizing their relationship with the US?


I doubt they see it that way, the French are very independant but have been the quickest to jump into any new market. They don't appear to be vexed by a conscience of how their products will be used. I noticed this in North Korea when they opened the economic zones in order to get cash after both China and Russia cut them off from financial aid.

I would like to see some investigative (hopefully) fair reporting of the financial ties, but in the current climate I doubt anyone could do the job. I keep hearing the reports of huge financial ties, but it's never itemized and shown to be innocuous like books and blankets.

I do find it ironic that Iraq flies French Mirage jets - sort of makes you wonder what else they sold them.
