L'Affaire Osirak (The Osirak Controversy)
In December 1974, Saddam Hussein (then vice-president of Iraq, but de facto dictator) invited Chirac to Baghdad for an official visit. Chirac accepted and visited Iraq in 1975. Saddam Hussein approved a deal granting French oil companies a number of privileges plus a 23 per cent share of Iraqi oil[citation needed]. In a declaration on September 5, 1974, Chirac said about Saddam Hussein:

?? You are my personal friend. Let me assure you of my esteem, consideration and bond. (Vous êtes mon ami personnel. Vous êtes assuré de mon estime, de ma considération et de mon affection.)[5] ?

As part of this deal, France sold Iraq the Osirak MTR nuclear reactor, a type designed to test nuclear materials

OMG.......and the take on the oil revenues is even 3% higher than the new oil law being passed in Iraq for U.S. companies! Far from "bullshit propoghanda".

Have a good one!:s4:
