As to our support of Iraq vs Iran - yes we provided some credits, but as has been discussed - we were far outsold and out moneyed by the French and Russians. His troops use Russian armor and weapons and fly French aircraft.

Your point is? If you cost out the US Naval operation in the Gulf in that period, I would imagine it would come out a lot higher than anything Russia or France contributed, and it didn't cost Saddam a dime.

John,
Can anyone give us iraqi weather reports. Frankly i am beginning to think that saddam is going to get a final month and specifics to meet. If we go to war 4/15 instead of 3/17, how bad can the weather be? Someone call april the beginning of the summer. I hate to think what july is in that case. Anyone have knowledge of this apart from all the propaganda and misinfo out there? mike
