Marco, tell your latte buddies to step up to the plate. U.S. envoys to Beijing have stressed that for 50 years the United States has helped keep Japan, South Korea and Taiwan from acquiring nuclear power, and now it is China's turn to return the favor, another American said. washingtonpost.com

Meet the incoming President of Iraq: Mohamed al-Jabiri, who has just returned from in talks with Washington, said the White House has given its "blessing" to the head of the Iraqi National Congress, Ahmed Chalabi, to lead a transitional coalition government in Iraq once Saddam has been deposed. Dr al-Jabiri, who talked to Mr Chalabi over the phone last month, said: "He told me that he would take over. He has the blessing of the White House and the State Department." He said Mr Chalabi had been in talks with another major Iraqi opposition group, the Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution in Iraq and the Iranian Government while in Tehran. Mr Chalabi moved to Sala-huddin in Kurdish-controlled northern Iraq last week, ahead of an expected United States-led invasion. Opposition forces will hold a summit in northern Iraq on February 15. Mr Chalabi, who is a progressive liberal, is far from universally popular among Iraqi exiles. However, successful talks in Tehran, and Iranian assistance in getting him into Iraq, shows he has galvanised considerable support from the Iraqi opposition. Analysts believe disunity in the Iraqi opposition would make it near impossible to form a transitional government from its ranks, leading to speculation that the US will have to effectively occupy Iraq for a year or longer to maintain order. Dr al-Jabiri said the US was keen to avoid such a situation, aware that it would create resentment among the Iraqi people and in the Middle East. Mr Chalabi, the 58-year old scion of an Iraqi financial dynasty, left Iraq aged 11, spending most of his exile in Britain and the US, where he studied mathematics. In 1996 he led an unsuccessful uprising against Saddam that resulted in hundreds of deaths.

At this point, is there anyone out there who still thinks that Hans Blix is not a complete clown? British Lawmaker Claims Iraq Evidence Mon Feb 3, By EDITH M. LEDERER, Associated Press Writer UNITED NATIONS - A British lawmaker on Monday handed chief U.N. weapons inspector Hans Blix what she believes is evidence of two sites where Iraq has hidden material used to make weapons of mass destruction. Baroness Emma Nicholson, a member of Britain's House of Lords and the European Parliament, said she also gave Blix a form showing that Iraq as recently as last month was trying to order materials that could be used for banned weapons. "This information has come from inside Iraq in the last few days and has not been given to anybody else before," she told reporters after a private meeting with Blix and eight other members of the European Parliament. Ewen Buchanan, Blix's spokesman, said: "We did receive some information from her, and it will be evaluated. It was received in confidence and will not be disclosed." Iraq's U.N. Ambassador Mohammed Al-Douri, when told of the possible evidence, said: "Certainly he (Blix) will instruct his people in Iraq to see whatever they might find in these sites. We have to wait a little bit." Nicholson is a member of the European Parliament's Foreign Affairs committee, its investigator on Iraq, and a longtime advocate for human rights in Iraq. She established a humanitarian aid foundation in 1991 — which now has a staff of 270, nearly all Iraqis — to help southern Iraq peoples forced to leave marshlands near the Iranian border in what she contends is a "genocide" committed by Saddam Hussein (news - web sites). "The evidence I gave to Dr. Blix identified at least two places where weapons of mass destruction materials are stored as my informant told me, places that have not been identified before, and other associated material," Nicholson said. She also said she gave Blix an order form, which she believes is valid, showing the Iraqi government was ordering "a form of tubing" from "the Far East" that could be used to make weapons of mass destruction. Nicholson refused to give any further details. She said she gave the information only to Blix, who assured her he would protect her informants. "I put one name in my documentation only, but I have others in reserve," she said. "And now that I have the confidence that (Blix) can protect these people — because they are at grave risk by giving in this information — I will be able to give him more information immediately." story.news.yahoo.com.
