Just as Saddam has had the forsight to make France, Germany and Russia his pawns by assigning those countries huge multibillion dollar oil deals, it is also plausible that the forged documents were planted by the Iraqi secret service with the aim of eventually discrediting the US when it pulls the document out of its hat.

"then there should be no question that UN is the better judge of what is going on in Iraq."

How's that possible, when its membership has so many interests at cross purposes. France has more than $38 billion dollars at stake to maintain the status quo in Iraq. Is that why it is against military action? Is that a good reason then to let a cruel despot remain in power, so France can maintain oil revenues? Russia has huge multibillion dollar oil rig manufacturing and rigging contract with Iraq. You don't think that has anything to do with its position against attacking Iraq.

The whole of the middle east is going to crap and threatening the U.S. and you want to do nothing. Is that correct?
