What would happen if...
The United States and Britain went into Iraq and liberated Baghdad, then found "Made in France" written all over the Iraqi weapons of mass destruction?

Im assuming they would have manufacture dates after 1990?Master of Ossus wrote:The United States and Britain went into Iraq and liberated Baghdad, then found "Made in France" written all over the Iraqi weapons of mass destruction?
Good question, I bet it would be swept under the rug.

It wouldn't be that surprising if it was the manufacturing equipment. France sold Iraq several billion dollars worth of military and industrial equipment in the 1970's and 80's, including there long since flattened nuclear power plant. Germany was behind most of the chemical stuff though. There nuclear equipment was mostly from Western Europe with some from North American and Asia sources. Bio samples came from all over, the equipment from Germany though there was a lot they could do with there own stuff. Rockets from the USSR, North Korea and Libya, and of course there's the UK built supergun of doom.

Well, it's just a hypothetical situation. They MIGHT have been right, again, but we don't have any evidence of it right now.Mr Bean wrote:So Mossad was right agian

I should point out that a lot of this stuff came from private companies. For some perspective, the US government has gone after a lot of defense and civilian contractors selling sensitive tech to China- this doesn't mean that the US wanted it to happen. And of course, the US helped Iraq's WMD program plenty.

Then we should make Spain into an island, if you know what I mean.
But seriously, the weapons probably would be harmless anyway, they would stop working whenever enemy forces appear.

The boycotts are being prepared at this moment. One of the republican reps want to attach an information label on french imported wines that use bovine blood as a clarifier. Obviously this is a tactic to lower the sales of french wines.
I wouldn't be surprised if France is removed from the security council and is completely booted out of NATO. They are already making great advances in being the most mocked country in the world.
