To this there can be only one blunt reply, and Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Bill Graham delivered it yesterday: "No backtracking, cheating or fooling around" will be tolerated. The inspectors must not be denied access to anything, even a broom closet.

Wow. Glad someone in the Canadian government has cajones.

I think something is starting to solidify here. Iraq is now vowing not to recognize any new UNSC resolutions that would spell out consequences for non-compliance. The US is negotiating the price for the Russian vote in the UNSC for a new, enforceable, resolution. Casus belli.

On Saturday, Iraq said it would ignore any new resolutions adopted by the UN Security Council.

The announcement, which followed a meeting involving President Saddam Hussein and senior officials, accused the US of trying to push a "new, bad" resolution.

US President George W Bush is calling for the Security Council to lay out specific consequences for Iraq if it fails to comply fully with existing resolutions on weapons inspections.
