Is the US asking the UN for approval to attack Iraq, or for a coalition?

    Ahh... Bush, you idiot...
    The inspectors really have to get more time... They are getting closer and closer each passing day...

    Bush is a mere puppet... His getting dragged in opposite directions by Powell and Wolfowits(?)...
    (of the two mentioned above, Powell is the most competent one.)...
    The deaths of thousands of civilan Iraqis could be spared if Bush would stag his wrath...

    Btw... I'm from Norway, so my country doesn't oblige me to take any sides in this issue...

    EDIT - Ofcourse, if Saddam continues to hinder the inspectors... And no proofs of the destruction of nuclear weapons are put forth, THEN, and only then sould the UN give it's help and recommendations in the forthcoming war...

    End of statement...

    Btw (again),
    just for the record; does anyone agree?

    A quite funny and probably unrelated fact


    Did you know that the people who went to be human shields from Britain came home at the first sign of planes overhead? LOL!

    [​IMG] Felgash,

    In the Mid 1990's there were over 7,000 inspectors in Iraq, and after they were kicked out, Saddam announced and paraded (literally had some of the stuff put on display in a march down the street) many of the prohibited weapons that he had that the inspectors never found.

    Now, how are a couple hundred inspectors every going to find something that Iraq has had years to hide, when 7,000 of them couldn't find them before?

    The inspectors were not sent to Iraq to find weapons. Res 141 stated that Saddam was to allow them to VERIFY the destruction of the weapons that everyone knows that he has. They are not supposed to truly be inspectors; they should have been called "verifiers".

    Saddam did not kick the inspectors out, the UN pulled them out as they were afraid of their safety as both the US insisted on planting spies among them and Saddam knew this and secondly at the time of the withdrawal war threathened then as well.

    joac,

    Regardless, the main point of the post remains the same. The inspectors left never finding anything of real importance (amazing how history repeats itself) and then Saddam made them look like fools. I would say made them look like the fools they are, but Hans Blix is the only one I can confirm is a fool.
