#1 Sorry about the missing "Russians" in the title - I shouldn't post BC (before caffeine).

#2 Just before the war Sadaam destroyed a large number of "long-range" missiles. At the time I heard or read speculation that the missiles that were being crushed were not long-range anymore as the Iraqis had swapped them back to an older style engine prior to destruction. I wonder whether we have discovered anything on that since the war.

Yep. Lots of shiny, new (ca. 2002) French stuff too. I wish Fred had the bandwidth/disk space to put up some pictures we took of some pretty incriminating stuff. I wonder if that's why the frogs/Sov's/Germans didn't want us to invade??
