GAO Report: GA Security Threat

The question is what do you want to achieve with this discussion. It is
well known to most here in the US that a large part of the world disagrees
with the US Iraq politics. In particular Germany and France.

One could look at the amount of business France, Russia and Germany
were doing with the Baath government in Iraq and reach a conclusion
that their objections had very little to do with anything but money.
Personally, I hope Saddam owed them all billions of dollars when he
went under.

It's kind of amusing that there are those who honestly feel that the
fact the US Vice President used to work for a military contractor who
got some business in reconstructing Iraq think that's significant, but
who can't imagine that France, Russia and Germany were influenced by
billions of dollars of commerce in their opposition to war. Go
figure...
