The writer “exmapleleaf”[second posting] has the real story. Claudia Rosett has written a couple of things about the Canadian connection and just last month Mark Steyn wrote extensively about the same thing. It was about oil all along but it wasn’t the Americans going for the development of the Iraqi oil fields, it was a consortium of companies in Canada led by a Corporation called “Total Corp.”

The post above: “Given the prevalence of Canadians involved in this “investigation” and their interrelationships with Pargesa/Paribas/PowerCorp it would be hard to conceive that the project for this commission is to limit damage to the Canadian interests that seemingly almost wholly operated OFF. Or it’s just an amazing coincidence? Desmarais, Chretien, Martin, each seems to have connections to each other and to these entities, and the Canadians on board like Morden and Frechette.”

Don’t know who Desmarais, Chretien, Martin, Morden and Frechette are? Go here and be enlightened, darnest thing you’ve ever read. The site has a good search engine also, start punching in those names and see where the links lead, newpaper stories, Times, Washington Post, etc., good reading. Here is the site. “Friends of Saddam” shttp://acepilots.com/unscam/archives/001890.html
