The Washington Times and Fox News are reporting that a French defense company has been selling Mirage fighter and Gazelle helicopter parts to Iraq. The allegation stems from the fact that the company sold the parts to the UAE who doesn't have any such aircraft. The UAE then transferred them to an unnamed 3rd country who supplied them to Iraq...this has been tracked to atleast january of this year and prior to that.
Interesting....
If an American company was breaking the sanctions, would that implicate the US government?

A company's illegal conduct of itself does not indicate that a government has given consent to ithe company's actions.

Waiting for the big fat veto...
