#1 If you were Mr. Wallop's butler and he were getting ready for holiday, would people say you pack a Wallop?

#4 Dar, unfortunately there is no Mr Wallop, the company's based in Middle Wallop, Hampshire, UK. Middle Wallop's situated between Over Wallop and Nether Wallop, if case that helps.

I don't think we should pre-judge the Wallop boys too quickly. If you want to check out their website, you might find products other than flares and aircraft/naval countermeasure devices, but I didn't. Admittedly some of their countermeasures, particularly the anti-air stuff, would be useful if Sammy had his hands on them. And also, simply because items they have manufactured are found in Iraq doesn't mean they knowingly provided Sammywith them.

#5 Wallop will most likely have all the necessary documentation to clear this up: what they built when, and where it went. So the bad guys recycled some boxes for RPG storage, so what? It's not like finding cruise missiles all marked up in Cyrllic.

#6 You need to see the "special products catalog" kept in the back room, behind the counter...

#7 "simply because items they have manufactured are found in Iraq doesn't mean they knowingly provided Sammywith them."
Bulldog,
I think we will probably here the same excuse from France/Russia/Germany.
Ain't that like the drug dealer claiming"I didnt'sell drugs to those Middle-school children."
