Are you saying that this has nothing to do with France & Germany's reluctance to join the war?

I was referring to this post:

I am arguing that France & Russia are not the only ones involved in these practices. I am saying that for the US to make these claims is truly a mistake. How can we even make this an issue when the two countries under the scope were against the war..a war which we tried to convince others to join...with claims of WMD...some didnt join us...we changed the name of "French Fries" behind it....AND WE STILL HAVE YET TO SUPPORT OUR CLAIMS.

Namely, that claims of WMD, French/Freedom fries, and "SUPPORT OUR CLAIMS" are all straw man arguments and have nothing to do with this thread.
Certainly, I think that Saddam's bribing of high officials in Russia and France are very relevent, and really, the whole point.
