Time to wag the dog! Trent Lott says he cannot support the Iraq attack at this time. This type of crap is exactly why it is important to have a president you can trust. Who believes a word the slick one says these days. He has been caught in too many baldfaced fibs. This is why "character" matters. Bring on Gore. I am in VRC,FGII,WFT as of today. Good luck to all. Thses are about the only stocks I feel comfortable holding overnight these days. Sorry for the speech but it's unbelievable that otherwise normal people want to stand up for Slick's slimy actions.

"Oil for food" became "oil for military equipment" One of Saddam's main problems since the Gulf War has been to acquire spare parts for his military equipment. However, after being allowed to sell oil for humanitarian purposes, to buy medical supplies and food for the Iraqi people, Saddam's agents have been using the money to purchase spare parts, according to Ministry of Defence sources. ______________________________________ Dissidents pinpointed targets The Times, Thursday December 17 By Roland Watson, political correspondent THE extraordinary extent of Western intelligence about the location and capability of Saddam's arsenal was revealed in pinpoint detail last night. A de-classified section of the report by Richard Butler, head of the United Nations weapons inspectors, offered an intriguing insight into the level of information the UN team were receiving from Iraqi dissidents. It included the disclosure that dismantled missles were being stored in wooden boxes hidden underground at the Baath party offices on the outskirts of Baghdad.They were concealed in a cellar below a shed normally used to house uniforms. The UN inspectors were denied access to the site, but the Butler report states in the minutest detail the inspectors' understanding about the whereabouts of the weapons. It says that during the last months of 1997 the Iraqi authorities moved the sensitive military material by night to a large shed within the compound of the offices in the Aadhamiyya district of the city. Although nominally the offices of the Baath party, the compound was guarded by members of the Ministry of Interior Security and Information Service. Security at the compound, which could be reached only by a narrow one-track side road, was supervised by a Lieutenant-Colonel Sardar. The inspectors' source told them the weapons were hidden in a shed made of bricks with a flat roof. It was over 50 metres square, 10 metres high, rectangular and lit by neon lights. The only entrance was through the building housing Lt Col Sardar's office. Parts of dismantled missiles were kept in boxes in the cellar below the shed, which was about the same size as the shed itself. A thick steel door, 3 x 3 metres, in the floor of the shed led down about six steps to the cellar. A special hook needed to move the door was kept by Lt Col Sardar. The inspectors learnt that the equipment was housed in large wooden boxes, about 2 x 2 x 1.5 metres. The boxes were locked with "expensive foreign-made locks", according to the source, and sealed with red wax. They had something written in a foreign language on them, which could have been English. The source thought there were around ten boxes in total. The report concluded: "The boxes would still be there. Lt Col Sardar was still working on the compound, as Sardar's only job had been to supervise these boxes and he was too senior to stay if they had moved." The site was believed to have been one of the many targets of last night's bombing raids.
