That was an excuse Oskar Schindler used to save entire families of Schindler Juden. Oskar was a member of the Nazi party, but did not use children to polish insides of ordinance.

Actually I thought what was really funny was the next day Bush asking France,Germany and Russia to wipe clean the billions of dollars owed in loans to them by Iraq.

Amazing how (so frequently) short sighted Bush is.

I thought US brought freedom to the iraqis... now they're only given one option to choose from?

I think the definition of Freedom is that which is dictated to us by the ruling powers of the time.
Politics Suck! And most politicians are Scum Sucking Bottom Feeders.

The USS Stark was hit with an Exocet, fired from a Mirage. (Yeah I know it was pre GW1, but your question had no time frame)

When did France veto the US?

Oct / Nov 2002, the US did not advance an Iraq SC resolution due to France and Russia's opposition. (read virtual veto) This seems to be the SOP for the SC now, not forcing the issue if you know a veto is coming.

The majority of the US vetos have been on the issue of Israel / Palestine. The US vetoed 8 resolutions since 1996, China 2.

France and Britain had their last vetoes in the decade of 1986-95.

I don't have a point here, but in order to argue, I must take a contrarian position.

Bush sais that these countries cant get contracts, and thats fine. I have no problem with that. Let US and UK companys get those contracts and let those countries pay those companys.

But hey !, next thing bush sais to Canada, Germany, France etc.. to clear Iraqs debt to them....NO NO. Give the countries that Iraq owes money to some contracts for the same amount of $

Bush and Blair has destroyed Iraq so let them pay for the rebuild. All money made on iraqi oil should go straight to the iraqi goverment (when its rebuildt).

As yet, no British company has been given a major contract, even though we have many specialist operations with the capacity (such as P&O and other maritime corporations) - the bidding process was closed to all non-American companies.

Mr Bush belives that the world is his sandbox and that he may do as he pleases..

Some day he will wake up and find that there is something out there besides his ego. Just hope he wont find it the hard way.

How did you like that Martlet?
