By now we have all read about the Polish troops discovery of French built missiles in southern Iraq.
Chirac has since had a "friendly but firm" talk with Poland's Prime Minister, Leszek Miller, on the issue.
Now that the missiles (forbidden in Iraq since 1990) have been destroyed, Poland's defense ministry has expressed "regret" for the report and has ordered an investigation into the issue. Not easy to investigate now that the evidence has been destroyed.
HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME these missles have been discovered in Iraq. Go back to April 13, 2003 U.S. forces discovered 51 Roland-2 missiles. At the same time a Roland-3 launcher was found. No reason to have a launcher without the milles.
I guess Chirac will have to have a "friendly but firm" talk with some more people.
