coug,

You've got a acute mind. I like the way that you are analyzing this situation. Thanks for your insights.

As far as today's pontification from the dictator, my feeling was that he was most interested in getting out his punch line, which is that time has run out for Saddam Hussein. El Presidente Corrupto may have been strong-arming the vacillating among the UNSC members about being sure to be on the winner's team, but his main thrust was to convince the great undereducated American public that we now are beyond the point of no return. We are going to war.

All Powell did was look good at being Powell. Besides, he was seeking an emotional response for Americans, not a legal recourse.

I was impressed how the other members of the council didn't skip a beat after listening to his presentation and advocated continuation of the inspections and reminding it is the UN who must decide.
