ColdDuck 0 #1 April 5, 2003 Just curious if anyone has read this book yet. Assuming the info in there is true which I assume it is there is something very interesting about the French's involvement in Iraq's nuclear program. "The French were first in line. Saddam had already cinched the reactor deal in principle with Prime Minister Jacques Chirac, undoubtedly as a quid-pro-quo for oil concessions...for a militant Arab leader with fathomless oil reserves, the reactor could have only one true purpose: to produce fuel for a nuclear bomb." The author Khidhir Hamza is referring to his trip along with three other Iraqi scientists to Paris to buy a nuclear reactor to build a nuclear weapons program in June of 1974. He makes it quite clear that the French were well aware that it was for a nuclear weapons program. I thought it was pretty interesting when I read it.

crazy 0 #4 April 5, 2003 QuoteAssuming the info in there is true which I assume Why would you do such an assumption? Hamza is known for misinformation and contradiction. He strongly endorsed the Iraqi opposition. Apparently, to some extent he was the puppet of Woolsley, Wolfowitz, and other partisans of the regime change. In addition, his so-called expertise of Iraqi nuclear program is doubtful. I'm not claiming that Hamza is only a liar, like Scott Ritter from the UNSCOM did, but i think it's time to sit back and watch the sales of the book (and movie) soar.-- Come Skydive Asia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shabakazaa 0 #5 April 5, 2003 It is true. My father *has* specialized in nuclear weapons. The fact is, *many* countries *are* involved in the proliferation of nuclear weapons. All we can do is ask ourselves, why? Oh, well. I guess Wendy and that other person (the admin) can explain it to us. After all, they are all-knowing concerning the politics of nations. Just another dumbass United States Citizen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
