The Accordions of War, Part V (Hat Tip Merde in France)
The Washington Post claims that the French have been helping the Iraqi military prepare for war.

French company has been selling spare parts to Iraq for its fighter jets and military helicopters during the past several months, according to U.S. intelligence officials.

The spare parts included goods for Iraq's French-made Mirage F-1 jets and Gazelle attack helicopters.

I hope this is not true. If it is, this is despicable, even for the French. So far, only the Washington Post has filed this story - all the others I have seen quote them. I will be watching this closely to see if this is confirmed.
