Perhaps a bit too early after the lock of the other one? Anyway I’ll give it a shot:

Iraq: Talabani, Sarkozy and Rafale F-1
Iraqi President Jalal Talabani and his French counterpart Nicolas Sarkozy are said to have discussed Iraqi plans to buy the French-made Rafale aircraft at their meeting in Paris last month. The following 329-word report sheds light on the subject and tells how each side approached it and what each side told the other about the obstacles that are standing on the way.
Surprising if true… Could the French have some second-hand F-1 they may would like to offer Iraq?
