<<if they manufactured a bunch of stuff, they should be dealt with harshly>> Are you referring to manufacturing things like the Niger forgeries?

It does make one wonder why Iraqi trade groups were going to Niger, doesn't it? 65% of their exports were/are Uranium ore..................(course' they could have been after cowpeas and onions....maybe........ <tic>)

Now on the other hand, France evidently does buy a good deal of Uranium ore....yep, from Niger.

Don't suppose France could have been re-selling it to Iraq, do you? Naaaahhhh, that couldn't be. Could it?

Niger...
