[Marxism] Puppet Strings: Iraq playing off U.S. against France?

[nada <dwaltersMIA@xxxxxxxxx>]

Interesting goings on in the Iraq vis-a-vis the Quisling gov't in 
Bagdad. The puppet master (US) is getting it's nose tweaked by it's own 
military imposed puppet government. And not in a nice way. Seems Obama 
has got another problem: Iraq wants to go nuclear:

"Electricity Minister Karim Wahid on Sunday invited France to help Iraq 
build a nuclear power plant, three decades after Paris constructed a 
reactor near Baghdad that was bombed by Israeli warplanes.

"We have had very good relationships with French companies," the 
minister told AFP in an interview.

"I am willing to enter into contacts with the French nuclear agency and 
to start to build a nuclear power plant, because the future is nuclear," 
he said. "This is my perspective."

Under former dictator Saddam Hussein, Iraq sealed a 1976 deal with 
France to build the Osirak nuclear reactor, where construction started 
in 1979."

Are they serious or is this Memorex? How does the US/Obama/Imperialist 
occupiers say "no" to this? Exactly?
