I am shocked - just shocked.
The corrupt members of the UN and Saddam Hussein did not want the sanctions lifted........sanctions were their bread and butter. As long as the USA could be persuaded there were POSSIBLE stockpiles of WMD, sanctions stayed in place and so did Saddam. Unfortunately, the filthy UN operatives never expected the USA to put a stop to their corruption by military force.
Why does no-one understand this?
Chirac's right in the middle of it too. I believe I heard Brit Hume mention that Chirac plans to remain in his presidency for another 14 years. His position makes him immune from prosecution and he know numerous charges will be brought against him should he leave office.
