Saddam Gave Money To The Chirac Re-Election Campaign

Hat Tip to The Right Side of the Rainbow for this one. The article discusses how saddam spies offered bribes to the chirac campaign to get him re-elected.

The article also says that the Iraqi intelligence agency of the time called the spokeswoman for chirac a "friend of Iraq". france of course, denies it all happened. Also a nice sidenote, the documents that revealed the deal were found during a US House of Rep. meeting about the UN Oil for Food scandal. Hmm...
