Hmmm... I wonder. The part I find most interesting is this:

In September 1975, Hussein traveled to Paris, where Chirac personally gave him a tour of a French nuclear plant. During that visit, Chirac said, �Iraq is in the process of beginning a coherent nuclear program and France wants to associate herself with that effort in the field of reactors.� France sold two reactors to Iraq, with the agreement signed during Hussein�s visit. The Iraqis purchased a 70-megawatt reactor, along with six charges of 26 points of uranium enriched to 93 percent -- in other words, enough weapons-grade uranium to produce three to four nuclear devices. Baghdad also purchased a one-megawatt research reactor, and France agreed to train 600 Iraqi nuclear technicians and scientists -- the core of Iraq�s nuclear capability today.

Sounds innocent enough, but:

Earlier, when Giscard d�Estaing found out about the deal -- and particularly about the sale of 93 percent uranium -- he had ordered the French nuclear research facility at Saclay to develop an alternative that would take care of Iraq�s legitimate needs, but without supplying weapons-grade uranium. The product, called �caramel,� was only 3 percent enriched but entirely suitable to non-weapons needs. The French made the offer, which Iraq declined.

Hmm... Iraq was agoing to get weapons-grade uranium and it was OK, but when that was changed the backed down?
