When you calm down, and can back off the middle school rhetoric style, maybe we'll talk. That's your problem X.. All you want to do is talk.. And that's what you want the UN to do.. Yack their jaws and send the message to Saddam Hussein that all he has to do is throw the UN a bone here and there, and we'll just sit back and continue to talk.. He takes 3 steps forward and 2 steps back, and eventually he still gets what he wants and manages to defeat the will of the UN for him to disarm. 12 years of talk.. and probably 12 MORE YEARS of useless banter is what we would have to look forward to... It been very simple X.. All Saddam has to do is fess up about all the stuff he has yet to account for. Stop playing games, obstructing inspections, and effectively "lower his drawers" and be inspected. But he hasn't done this. He's played the same fu%*ing game he played all through the '90s.. Play the game until those idiots in the UN get tired of it all and are distracted by something else.. and then get back to the business of building WMDs. Maybe I'd feel a bit differently if we had some French and Russian troops sitting out there "containing" Saddam, but that's not what has happened. Face it X.. were it not for the US, via Bush's confrontation with the UN back in September, there would be NO inspectors working in Iraq right now. We pushed them into enforcing their binding resolution and confronting Saddam's defiance.. And they sure as hell haven't put up any troops to back up any threat of "grave consequences" contained in 1441.. What kind of "grave consequences" do you think the French and Russians had in mind for Saddam.. refusing to sell him Wine and Caviar?? With no troops in the region they certainly are in no condition to demand anything from Saddam.. It's ONLY because the US has troops there, that Saddam is doing what he's doing.. But he's still got 6,000 chemical warheads to account for... And that's just for starters. Go back and look at the inspectors report from just before they were kicked out in 1998.. None of those items have been properly accounted for. Hawk
