>Clearly no deadline is noted in UN 1441, and anyone without an agenda reading the UN document would agree.<
There is a deadline noted. The deadline is 30 days after the date of the November 7 resolution. Period. Unless you want to burn your copy of UN 1441, it is there. Period.
>Vitas, you remind me of the hate bug in the Doctor Who Comic book<
you are lying, corrupt, and spiteful in your vendetta against our President George Bush, and will stop at nothing to try to twist the story your way. It is obvious in everything you write, and is a fact. You really should get over it
seek professional help
our country is involved serious matters and you owe it to our country - oops confused already I'll bet
>That established, you're gonna hate the proof that's now in this pudding. For your enjoyment and intellectual persusion, please read and learn:<
it would help if you would present something new.
The declaration would merely confirm the fact of material breach, as outlined by Blix:
Message 18604070
>>>U.S. and British officials said Wednesday the short resolution, to be circulated later this week or early next week, would declare Iraq in "material breach" of its U.N. obligations to completely eliminate its weapons of mass destruction -- a determination that can be used as legal justification for the use of military force.<<<
it says clearly - can be used it does not say "necessary" - nothing new there
>"A determination that can be used as legal justification for the use of military force." Now, had UN 1441 explicitly stated this, well then I'd agree with you. You do understand that "serious consequences" means nothing like what's described at the beginning of this paragraph.<
serious consequences includes war - ho hum, or do you want to tell us that war is not a serious consequence?
>>>"It is time for the Security Council to consider a resolution that says Iraq is in material breach," said Richard Grenell, spokesman for U.S. Ambassador John Negroponte<<<
nothing wrong with that
but is is not "necessary" or "required"
if you think that it is, show us where it says so
>Whereas you, and Bush, are making a claim Iraq already is in material breach, that doesn't matter.<
you mean you and Blix
>and What matters is the UN has to declare so.<
no, the language of UN 1441 states that within 30 days Iraq had to submit "a currently accurate, full, and complete declaration of all aspects of its programmes"
and Blix' finding was:
"Iraq appears not to have come to a genuine acceptance, not even today, of the disarmament that was demanded of it."
"Blix explained that the 12,000-page weapons declaration delivered by the Iraqis on Dec. 7 failed to answer key questions concerning, among other things, the whereabouts of deadly VX nerve gas that Iraq weaponized back in 1990, growth material for biological warfare agents and some 6,500 poison-gas munitions."
see the magic date, December 7? that was the report that Iraq filed that was due that day from the issuance of UN 1441
"Blix explained that the 12,000-page weapons declaration delivered by the Iraqis on Dec. 7 failed to answer key questions concerning, among other things, the whereabouts of deadly VX nerve gas that Iraq weaponized back in 1990, growth material for biological warfare agents and some 6,500 poison-gas munitions."
"Blix added that the 12 empty chemical warheads discovered last week "could be the tip of the iceberg," and that Iraq has engaged in missile development and testing that it is forbidden by U.N. resolution."
"Perhaps more to the point, Blix made it clear beyond reasonable doubt that Iraq simply refuses to cooperate in any substantive way with inspectors - in itself a violation of the relevant resolutions."
Blix has already found that the report that was due by 7th, and was so filed by Iraq, was in material breach of UN 1441. Period.
>I'm surprised you couldn't understand this earlier. It was so plain and clear.<
I see you are still hunting. and confused.
Please let us know when you actually have something rather than kicking up everything you possibly can find so that you might find the slightest particle of dust to defeat the basic premise as stated in my post:
