Bill Gertz in the washington times is breaking this story which is a 3 part series on weapons finds in Iraq..
On April 8 came the downing of Air Force Maj. Jim Ewald's A-10 Thunderbolt fighter over Baghdad and the discovery that it was a French-made Roland missile that brought down the American pilot and destroyed a $13 million aircraft. Ewald, one of the first U.S. pilots shot down in the war, was rescued by members of the Army's 54th Engineer Battalion who saw him parachute to earth not far from the wreckage.
Army intelligence concluded that the French had sold the missile to the Iraqis within the past year, despite French denials.
What if Iran or syria purchased the missles and shipped them to Iraq?
A week after Ewald's A-10 was downed, an Army team searching Iraqi weapons depots at the Baghdad airport discovered caches of French-made missiles. One anti-aircraft missile, among a cache of 51 Roland-2s from a French-German manufacturing partnership, bore a label indicating that the batch was produced just months earlier
OK.... then this means they have developed advanced shipping technics similar to Fedex to Iraq thru Syria or Iran..?
In May, Army intelligence found a stack of blank French passports in an Iraqi ministry, confirming what U.S. intelligence already had determined: The French had helped Iraqi war criminals escape from coalition forces — and therefore justice.
A kid with a copy machine can fake passports...Im sure that Iraq could easily set up forgery and copy technology on thier own
There seems to be a lot of this inuendo coming out and much more I didn't include....
If a voting member of the UN breaks UN emplaced sanctions shouldn't they lose there voting member status for a period as punishment including the US... ?
