At the Azores summit Chirac stated that France would veto anything that tried to hold Iraq more accountable. Iraq no longer had a reason to believe that the UN would enforce 1441. I don't care about WMD. He was not in compliance with 1441 and hadn't been for a long time. While Blix wanted to keep looking he flat out stated that Iraq was not cooperating. So they weren't in compliance, period. If Iraq did not have a weapons program anymore and had destroyed their WMD then Saddam is the dumbest ass on the planet for not actively helping the UN prove that. As for quoting the Simpsons I had no idea that came from there as I've never watched them. My dislike for the French goes back many years from my time in the military. They don't even make good gate guards and have no business even being on the security council. As to our conversation I will go back to my edit. It's obvious that you relish anything that even hints of a failure in US policy and I don't. I think Iraq will be looked back on as a great move a generation from now. You and I will just have to agree to disagree as it's no good for my blood pressure or the thread for you and I to talk politics.
