>>>Is it really more important to preserve the details of the government?s intelligence sources than to avert war by assisting the inspectors in locating and destroying the alleged Iraqi weapons, raw materials, and production facilities? If the U.S. government truly knows that such things exist in Iraq, what is so complicated about simply telling the inspectors where to find them?<<< I sure hope Bush does answer that question, PT. Do you know why? Because the real answer is going to be: First we gave some sensitive information to the inspectors. Then we saw that the information leaked to Iraqis within 48 hours and they moved the weapons. Finally, the inspectors never even bothered to check out the site. You keep assuming that the UN is an honest organization that is in favor of disarmament. That is your mistake. Did you notice that Iraq is going to chair the UN Commission on Disarmament this summer? No kidding.
