Syrian arms to Iraq

The latest development in setting Syria up for a take-down, I suppose is the report that they sold arms to Iraq just prior to the U.S. invasion.

The investigation is likely to embarrass two American allies, Poland and South Korea.

Before the war a Polish company, Evax, signed four contracts with Iraq and delivered up to 380 engines for surface-to-air missiles to Baghdad through Syria, the paper said.

A South Korean company, Armitel, sent telecommunications equipment worth $8m (£4.5m) for what the documents said was air defence, the paper reported.

I don't know why that should embarrass these countries. Heck, we sold weapons to Iraq before we invaded them. And we're not embarrassed.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
