#1 Frog is the Nato Designator for that specific make of missile.

Ingenious name. Like the real "Frogs", these things appear to make a great deal of noise, but are otherwise unable to stop US troops :-)

#2 Nice tribute, naming their missiles after their benefactors. Jacques is probably quite touched.

#5 Does anybody, anywhere, even feel it worth comenting on the fact that SCUD missles, if used, would prove that Iraq has deliberately concealed forbidden weapons, and that the inspection process was a failure? Or does everyone, everywhere, simply take this as a given?

#6 "Free Rocket Over Ground" = unguided projectile.
