Does anone know what has become of those three freighters that were reported sailing around in the Indian Ocean a few weeks ago? It was surmised that they contained all the WMD that Iraq was trying to hide from Inspector ClueLess Blix. Are they still afloat or under close watch? "Inquireing Mind" wants to know??

The prospect that these three freighters never existed in the first place, while rejected by FR for some reason, has to loom as the most likely explanation.

I would suspect that we have plenty of evidence of WMD, and are waiting for victory on the battlefield to announce it, in a measured fashion that puts France, Germany, Russia, and China in their place for all time: warmongers masquerading as peace lovers.

My money's on that sneaky US Navy and their Seawolf.

Ships? What ships?

Don't know why you'd say that.  I remember reading
an article staying that the US was aware of these ships
and where they were.

[Fractal Trader]

Show me the evidence, dammit! I am French and do not accept any reasonable argument unless it is conclusively proven in a court of law in front of a series tribunal of world renowned judges at the United Nations.

BTW, what's a United Nation, anyway? Who owns it?

[gcruse]

You talkin' tah me?

[vannrox]

I was wondering the same thing.
My guess is that the SEALs now OWN these ships.
But since there are no "imbedded Reporters" with the SEALs that the info is kept quiet.

[Illbay]

Um, could it be that it was just a rumor?
