I've been trying to figure out what, exactly, it is that Germany, France & Russia think they bring to the table for Iraq. We've seen that France has provided pesticides for placement & cover next to a stockpile of Saddam's deadly Sarin+Tubin+Mustard cocktails, but their services in these regards are no longer necessary. Similary, we've heard how much the Germans are quite proud of the work they completed building Saddam's bunkers but, with his regime gone, that money will be directed elsewhere. Russia has now frantically removed the last of their military advisors in that convoy that was inadvertently struck in the midst of an Iraqi firefight and, certainly, Iraq will no longer need any of those (apparently) new chemical weapon shells that were found with 3 spigots surrounding a central plug on the rear of cyclindrical devices with Russian military stamping on all the boxes. So, what exactly do these allies of Saddam bring to the table in a new Iraq where weapons of mass destruction, terror and the hanging of children by lampposts is no longer the ritual of the day?
