they get their pantys twisted (for profit) on am radio and this mindless drivel is the result.

basicly if its not bull**** it dosent matter anyway as the evidence sucks and the party doing the investigating has a huge axe to grind and the fact that they have been lieing a blue streak for almost 4 years dont help.

next troll please.....

You have evidence to disprove this article?

If you read my comments, you see that I find it hard to believe as well, and posted it to see if anyone had any corroborative articles.

Can you prove this article is an "Outright lie" or is this the one article that is truthful? PLease post links to the other 9 lies I've posted.

UPI is a questionable source?

Have anything else to add?

"I think the list is true," Naseer Chaderji, a governing council member, said. "I will demand an investigation. These people must be prosecuted."

There are 46 nations on that list, including the US.

Grun,
Not meant to be reasonable. Just that this is not shocking news.
I distinctly recall Turkey being enticed with promises of funds just to ensure coming onside of some, hmm, can't quite recall the event in question.

"I imagine that if French decided to change regime in oppressive non-democratic terrorism-spreading Saudi Arabia our administration would raise quite a noise."

I for one, wouldn't lose any sleep over it. If the French did, would it be, No blood for oil again?

Not like USA hasn't taken bribes or tried to bribe..
Can't say the french only are taking bribes or tried to bribe.
Just different nations and different bribes...

There is no equvalencty between USA and Iraq. Iraq was a nation under the closest possible legal, political and economic restrictions, and France knew it. If it took bribes from Iraq during this time then it would have to be an extreme violation.

But like I said to Ping, when the scandal involves France, Iraq whatever (anyone except the USA, Bush, the mythical "big bussines" monster etc) you guys all reasonable and think nothing of it...

Just imagine how up in arms you would be if this was a charge against the usa in some way....

Pongo · « **Reply #26 on:** January 29, 2004, 01:20:50 AM »

your right there is no equivilency. Iraq invaded two counties. The US has invaded dozens in our life time.

GRUNHERZ · « **Reply #27 on:** January 29, 2004, 01:38:10 AM »

Only Canada is left. So watch your mouth - Bush is watching.

Grun, My comment was meant as was written. It was not directed at any one country because, they all do it. It was due to an
automatic reaction on your part that I posted an example you might remember that strikes close to home.

Stop thinking that everything is an attack on everything you hold near and dear.
We now return to our regularily schedueled political commentary.

GRUNHERZ · « **Reply #29 on:** January 29, 2004, 02:28:41 AM »

I hope you remember that...

As for your Turkey example, do you really think thats even remotely copmorable to Iraq, a nation under the strictest sanctions possible, possibly bribing a UNSC veto member?
