KLP,

Basically President Clinton backs PM Blair and President Bush on Iraq.

Former US President Bill Clinton has stressed the need to strengthen the United Nations and to "call Saddam Hussein's bluff" with tough new inspections demands.

This was in response to the existing UN agreement which allows the Iraqi's to protect some sites.

In fairness he also said:

using force against him should be a last resort.

What a credible source. Elsewhere in that estimable erag:

Does al-Qaida have 20 suitcase nukes? worldnetdaily.com

Islamohomophobia worldnetdaily.com

Amazon defends sale of pedophile book worldnetdaily.com

And just for good measure, recycled Drudge: worldnetdaily.com

Looks like some lamo Weekly World News ripoff for right wing wackos. Enjoy.

"Today WorldNetDaily reports the strong likelihood that al-Qaida is in possession of some 20 suitcase nuclear bombs and other weapons of mass destruction."

from the same source:
"Yossef Bodansky, author of "Bin Laden: The Man Who Declared War on America" and the U.S. Congress' top terrorism expert, concurs that bin Laden has already succeeded in purchasing suitcase nukes. Former Russian security chief Alexander Lebed also testified to Congress that 40 nuclear suitcases disappeared from the Russian arsenal after the collapse of the Soviet Union."

Disappeared? Who has the other 20?

Now it's perfectly clear why Bush and Cheney want to go to war with Saddam and leave Osama and the Russians alone.
