The above link is for an other report. I believe that what we are seeing is an attempt to cover those countries that have violated the sanctions. Notice it says some boxes inside, not boxes of missiles or RPGs, could be a box of cleaning supplies. Also the missiles are in crates with Cyrillic writing dated 2002, this is not mentioned in the story that is linked on the first post. The one date meantioned is on a British box That was part of an Iranian contract, that date was 1980.

The fact is: hey had them and were hiding them.

Where they came from means nothing.

Were these allowed or banned weapons?

I'm very illiterate when it comes to weapon types and such.

[TLBSHOW]

I agree.

Next thing you know the democrats will be saying they
found Hawk missles that Reagan sold to Iran in there.

The Brits get a pass anyway for helping us. I'm sure it was old munitions anyway. The U.S. sold Iraq stuff way back when too before we knew Saddam was a Daschhole!

It's one thing to sell them small combat arms, it's another to sell them stuff to make Chemical Weapons or other WMDs or to sell them nuclear technology and know-how such as France has.

1. To whom were the weapons originally sold? (My Guess: Someone in NATO).

2. When do we get to kick the ***es of those NATO "allies" who then turned around and sold them to Iraq?

I'm wondering why some of the officers are stating that no SCUD missiles have been found, when SCUDs have been reported as the missiles that were fired at Kuwait.

Because they weren't SCUDS, but al-Sahmoud II.

Thanks. The newspeople referred to them as SCUDs at first. Guess they finally did their homework.

Too funny!

The Iraqi's took Hawks from Kuwait when they invaded.

that units from the Black Watch

The Black Watch regiment was the first and now I think the last Scottish regiment left in the UK army. The other once proud regiments are now represented by mere companies and battalions.

Not quite. The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards remain very much at full Regimental strength with four squadrons of Challenger II tanks, very much an important part of the British military establishment as Scotland's only cavalry regiment. Further details at the FReeppost Black Watch post *here*.

Now both units are serving with the British 7 th Armored Brigade, the legendary British Desert Rats whose insignia was the little red desert jebael mouse, and who, I expect, will long be telling the tale of the time they've spent in this war, fighting as they are alongside the U.S. four-star general serving as the commander of the U.S. Fifth Corps. It's hard to imagine that few Yanks seem to have yet made the connection.
