[quote:91040]The Canadian military has started planning for a possible role in a United Nations-sanctioned attack against Iraq.

It is unlikely a Canadian force would match the size of Canada's 1991 Gulf War contribution, which included 24 CF18s, a field hospital and an infantry unit.

Canadian fighters would also be unlikely to fly strike missions because the missiles fired by Canadian pilots in the 1999 Kosovo war have not yet been replaced and a needed refurbishing of the electronics package on Canadian planes to make them compatible with American aircraft has not been completed.
