The Daily Telegraph reports that the fake reports that Iraq sought to purchase uranium from Niger were a French setup.
The Italian businessman at the centre of a furious row between France and Italy over whose intelligence service was to blame for bogus documents suggesting Saddam Hussein was seeking to buy material for nuclear bombs has admitted that he was in the pay of France.

Italian diplomats have claimed that, by disseminating bogus documents stating that Iraq was trying to buy low-grade "yellowcake" uranium from Niger, France was trying to "set up" Britain and America in the hope that when the mistake was revealed it would undermine the case for war, which it wanted to prevent.
Note that MI6 had a second source for that information and stands by its report AND the 16 words of infamy from the President's 2003 State of the Union address were based on the British intelligence belief.
Is there any question that the French are enemies of the US? Not if you're sane.
