#1 If the French keep opposing us in our upcoming war, the French oil companies can kiss goodbye any chances of participating in the Iraqi oil business.

#2 Denny, you don't know how these things work. After it's all over, they'll be reminding us of how they supported us all along in private. That's if we win, of course. If we were to lose, they'd pee on our carcass.

#3 Sigh. Fred, you're right, dadgummit! But, at least I can dream. I've been reading too much Den Beste.

#4 They can claim they supported us all along in private till they are blue in the face. They have already made themselves cheese eating surrender monkeys to a murderous dictator, yet again, in public. Pirvate is just that, private. We don't see it, so it never happened. After we secure the evidence of their perfidity against us and their help for Iraq, that is it. They can kiss our collective asses, and their Iraqi debts, goodbye.

Which would wreak their economy, cause internal socail upheaval and possibly revolution, and when they ask us to yet again pull their ass out of the fire of their own construction, we can tell them we can give them all the private support they can use.
