Excuse me if I am not surprised.

I am sure there is more to come.

Now that you've jumped the gun you probably will find out that the missiles were provided to the kurds by your own CIA.. LOL.

That's the trend with 100% of the accusations on Iraq lately.

Naw Fishu, my bet is the French sold em directly to the Iraqis and thats a big reason why the French are owed so much money by them.  Ohh, and seeings that there is no proof for either side, like it really matters to liberals anyway, lets just invade France and Germany too!  

:p

Entirely possible.  France's tendancy to sell weapons to anyone with cash - no questions asked - makes this a very likely situation.

Now... how does that absolve France of responsibility?

I don't think the Chinese have ever claimed to be the good guys.
