French-Trade-Iraq

[stingray]

I just happen to be bored and i was watching CNBC, to see how much money Im losing, actually the past few days have been better.
I got a little information just a second ago.

Take a wild guess at who is Iraq's largest foreign trade partner? New information for me but not at all that suprising.

france

Tell Snakum and Viva, they would twist it to fit their ridiculous arguments on other posts.

Yep back in the late 70's, the ingenious French government decided to sell Iraq 2 nuclear reactors. of course Israel was "slightly" concerned about this. The French said that the Iraqi's had promised that the reactors were going to be used for research purposes Of course the Israelis were just a little suspicious, and tried to prevent the sale. However, diplomatic efforts didn't work and the Israeli's decided to bomb the site near Baghdad before it became operational.
