Swiss delay of military parts sparks âbuy Americanâ push
By Bill GertzA Swiss companyâs refusal to provide critical parts for the Pentagonâs flagship Joint Direct Attack Munition during the Iraq war shows the need for "buy American" laws, the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee said yesterday. Rep. Duncan Hunter, California Republican, also said Switzerland, a neutral nation, blocked delivery of grenades to British military forces during the conflict because it opposed the war. "The British went into battle in Iraq without a full grenade load," Mr. Hunter said in an interview. Funny how the Swiss had no problems selling to the Nazis anything they wanted.
