Blood For Oil. Our Blood. Oil For The French

Jacques Chirac had a lot invested in Saddam Hussein. It's no wonder he fought so hard to undermine our efforts in Iraq.

"Chirac was determined to maintain Saddam Hussein in power so that two extraordinarily lucrative oil contracts, negotiated by the French, could go into effect. Very little has been written about this until now.

The deals were negotiated separately by CFP Total and by Elf Aquitaine during the mid to late 1990s. At the time, both companies were state-controlled. They have since been privatized and combined into the world’s second largest oil giant, TotalFinalElf."
