If it had been up to Safire, the Watergate Burgulars would have been spun as building safety inspectors, there to do a good-will inspection of those offices in the middle of the night, on their own time. Witness:
Powerful officials and their profiteering friends in France had a reason to try to stop the U.S. from overthrowing Saddam Hussein: they were pocketing billions in payoffs through a United Nations oil-for-food front.
That's the import of the Duelfer report.
Never mind the parts about the non-existant weapons. The Evil one was trying to make a buck. Hey, when Donald Rumsfeld was selling weapons to Iraq in the 80's, it was OK. When CheneyBurton sub, Dresser, sold equipment to Saddam in the 90's, that was OK. Now that crony capitalism is running rampant in Iraq, hosing their economy but enriching major campaign contributors, well, that's OK. It's all of no import.
'Safliar', how appropriate. I'll bet Fearless Leader makes him wish Nixon had been so ruthless.

jesus christ, is this dipshit serious? i wonder if this demented cretin has heard of the carlyle group. beyond ridiculous.
Dresser-Rand from France? You know they were the main firm dealing with the Niger-Nigeria nuclear facilities
I posted their assessments of sites online before the war even started from IAEA sites and thier corporate links and they pulled the links....
You could google the shit up and see they were outright lying. The EU countries Germany and France could verify the extent any byproduct would be available in full from their advisory/subcontract work.
Dresser Rand and Ingersoll-Rand were big time subcontractors there.
