Gotta Yell Ghostrider, Just saw some unknown american actor on the BBC, representing sarandon and sheen et al, talking about some Hollywood virtual march on washington saying that inspections are working. YES THEY ARE WORKING BECAUSE THERE ARE 150,000 AMERICAN SOLDIERS ON THE BORDER. ARE THESE SOLDIERS SUPPOSED TO STAY ON THE BORDER INDEFINITELY? IF SO, WHO WILL PAY FOR THEM TO STAY--THE FRENCH? sorry for yelling. Sometimes i think it is me who is going mad. If these folks want to be real, just admit that they were willing to have saddam develop nukes and delv systems for all kinds of wmds because thats what was happening since 1998 and would have continued had not bush made the threat and followed thru. I ASK AGAIN, AM I MAD? mike@venting.com

The Chirac-Hussein Connection~~~Thanks very much for posting that article...Certainly something that should be taken into consideration whenever Chirac opens his mouth.... 1974---this was about the time of the oil embargo, and the long lines for gas...Jimmy Carter was President. In fact, d’Ornano claimed that he didn’t even make the trip to Iraq with Chirac in 1974, let alone act as the prime negotiator. Everything he did was in conjunction with Chirac. >>>>>>>excerpts of a letter from Chirac to Hussein -- dated June 24, 1987, and hand-delivered by Trade Minister Michel Noir -- which the magazine claimed indicated that he was negotiating to rebuild the Iraqi reactor. The letter says nothing about nuclear reactors, but it does say that Chirac hopes for an agreement “on the negotiation which you know about,” and it speaks of the “cooperation launched more than 12 years ago under our personal joint initiative, in this capital district for the sovereignty, independence and security of your country.” In the letter, Chirac also, once again, referred to Hussein as “my dear friend.” Chirac and the government confirmed that the letter was genuine.
