(( Do you know if the french have any recent oil contracts signed with sadam? No I don't. Do you? )) I do. The French oil companies Elf and Total have both contracts and offices in Baghdad.

ShiloCat..There is a fair bit of info here about iraq oil and who gets it including the USA. " The largest of Iraq's oilfields slated for post-sanctions development is Majnoon, with reserves of 12-20 billion barrels of 28o-35o API oil, and located 30 miles north of Basra on the Iranian border. French company TotalFinaElf reportedly has signed a deal with Iraq on development rights for Majnoon. " eia.doe.gov
