What missiles did the French sell to Iraq, and when?
The USS Stark was hit with an Exocet, fired from a Mirage. (Yeah I know it was pre GW1, but your question had no time frame)
When did France veto the US?
Oct / Nov 2002, the US did not advance an Iraq SC resolution due to France and Russia's opposition. (read virtual veto) This seems to be the SOP for the SC now, not forcing the issue if you know a veto is coming.
The majority of the US vetos have been on the issue of Israel / Palestine. The US vetoed 8 resolutions since 1996, China 2.
France and Britain had their last vetoes in the decade of 1986-95.
I don't have a point here, but in order to argue, I must take a contrarian position.
