I understand it all, Vitas. Do you? By the way, what part do you think France, Germany, Russia, China, and about 150 other nations do not understand? I also understand that Bush got Congress to approve the Iraq resolution by using bogus information. That resolution should be rescinded!

So what's your problem, Vitas? You want to go to war now, not wait for the inspection team report? Or do you care what the report says? Would you agree to the inspectors request for more time to complete the inspections beyond the presumed March deadline? Are you wondering where I get March from? Well, in the absence of a deadline specific in 1441, the precedent of the preceeding applicable resolution must apply, this according to Blix. I believe there's a 60-day provision such that this would place the date for the final UN inspection report, if I remember correctly, sometime in March. Vitus, you do realize there's no deadline articulated in Resolution 1441? Thus, do you agree with Blix that therefore the precedent for the final report dealine must come from the previous resolution? Of course the Council could meet again and affix a deadline certain--but that's a bit unwieldy, don't you think? Overall, here, I guess the crux of the matter for purposes of our debate is how you respond to my questions in the earlier portion of this post. And please do so without name-calling. It doesn't reflect well for you when you do that. You know that, don't you?
