#1 Considering how short the shooting war lasted, those French arms must be pretty effective, eh?

The French Arms merchants should be worried about the reputation of their products.

#2 This is just the tip of the iceberg. Finally heard from a friend of mine in Kuwait yesterday. Half of what they're finding supplied to the Republican Guard after 1991 came from France. I'm sure there are going to be SERIOUS repercussions for France from all of this. If not, we need to have a little "Saddam" party with our own government.

#4 Rolands are antiaircraft - wannabee Patriot missles.

My bet is they caused the damage in Baghdad becuase they were unguided once the ground radars shut off. And if the ground radars stayed on, they likely caught a wild weasel HARM from a SEAD misslion, and became unguided fairly rapidly.
