Those pictures you've no doubt seen of endless miles of tanker trucks leaving Iraq, that oil was being sold in violation of UN sanction. WE knew it, EVERYBODY knew it. And the French were buying a large portion of it.
No wonder they opposed the war- they were profiting mightily, and stood to increase that, by just maintaining the status quo.
so, are you saying that the french violated sanctions that the US didn't? No doubt that France was pursuing their oil interests there, but I'm just not certain that they are guilty of violations that differ in kind, rather than degree, from those of the US (if they are, in fact, bona fide violations).
