… is my enemy.
[Italian diplomats] say that France’s intelligence services used an Italian-born middle-man to circulate a mixture of genuine and bogus documents to “trap” the two leading proponents of war with Saddam into making unsupportable claims.
Golly… I wonder why?
According to an account given to The Sunday Telegraph, France was driven by “a cold desire to protect their privileged, dominant trading relationship with Saddam, which in the case of war would have been at risk”.
I’ll bet the folks in the prosecutor’s office of the International Criminal Court would like to have a chat with Jacques Chirac and Dominique DeVillepan (who is a man).
Oh. No, I guess they wouldn’t.
Via Mr. Minority.
