Didn't we find when we invaded, new French missiles date-stamped 2003?

No. Gertz is getting his facts wrong yet again. Simply a journalist using dodgy information to boost his report - simply for sensationalism. All the ROLAND missiles found by the Coalition were from the batch supplied in the 1980s. This includes both the US and Polish finds. All the missiles contained batch tags from the 1980s. The 2003 canister cases have nothing to do with the missile manufacturers or a delivery date. The Coalition EOD teams also found US TOW missiles date stamped from the 1980s. These had been from the 1980s Iraq-Iraq war and equipment looted from the Kuwaiti Army. The SNEB 68mm rocket in the Arab world is as common as the Russian supplied RPG.

The amount of arms cased found in Iraq marked 'Jordainian Armed Forces' is quite staggering. The Jordanians either officially, or unoficially were transferring arms at a predigious rate.
