[edit] Nationality?

If it's made by a US company, in what sense is it Canadian?

-Only in the sense that Canadians might use it. It was designed in and manufactured in the USA. So, I'm dropping the Canadian part out. Gelston 08:04, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

--So why aren't these being purchased in huge quantities and shipped to Iraq to replace the Humvees?-paladin41k, 04/12/2007

because they cost mucho dinero. So do your F22s, new submarines and aircraft carriers, missile defense shield, replacement of helicopters and transport planes... Daft, 2 may 2007

[edit] UK "jumped the queue"

I don't remember exactly where I read this, but apparently the UK received their vehicles at the expense of the Iraqis, as they took delivery of a number of cougars that were originally destined to the new Iraqi army (basicly jumping the queue), leaving them with soft skinned humvees in the meantime. Does anyone have anymore on this matter? Daft, May 10 2007; 16:08

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Force Protection Cougar.jpg

Image:Force Protection Cougar.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
