Who gets to make up the next excuse for France?

Nephythys:

Here's an article about an Italian investigation into whether the Italian spy agency was the source of the forged documents (hearings start this week):

Here's another with different details (including that the creation of the forgeries was started by two employees of the Italian spy agency, SISMI, in 2000:

If accurate (I don't read Italian and can't stomach the thought of putting a multi-article investigative series through Babelfish so it is all paraphrased second hand) it doesn't look good for the France did it to undermine selling the war theory. If true that the plan for the forgeries was hatched in 2000 then it must have had different motivations since that was prior to 9/11.

Thanks Alex.....I'll check out the links.

It's a shame that people would rather attack me than look at the issue, but hey, that's all some people have.

I am always amazed at the amount of self righteous arrogance here-judgemental and snide comments- with no purpose but to belittle and insult someone.

If you have no interest- don't post- but coming in just to take pot shots at me is lame. I find the topic interesting- and last I checked I don't have to justify that for any one of you.

And I'm no victim- never said I was. I will say that that dealing with certain people is painful- but hey, it's your little playground. I guess you can be as nasty as you like in your "swanky" little ways.

That is certainly true - whcih of course begs the question of why you return here? I presume it feeds some need for you - I've speculated as to what I think that that might be, just my opinion. But in the end only you can answer that question.

None-the-less that's all irrelevent; as unpleasent or as painful as this exchange might seem at the surface, we are both indulging our perverse pleasures here. I'm just aknowledging mine.
