Can we pass something like that against California Democrats?

One can always hope.

Lets see....8 weeks (and actually 11 years and 17 UN resolutions)later what has Saddam had a chance to hide? I Can't help but believe that France and the outher Euro trash have been protecting Saddam for that very reason.

��5{�������� not really happy that the UN Inspectors get to decide what constitutes "noncompliance" because that puts such an onus on them.

I think the U.S. will be able to manage Hans Blix when the noncompliance statement is needed.

What a magnificent week it has been for President Bush - sweeping the House mid-term, retaking the Senate and getting a unanimous vote in the Security Council on the Iraq resolution. These are tremendous achievements, showing that President Bush is a great leader.

#&@*%@+ crappy Microsoft browser screwed up the quote in the first sentence again.

8. WE CAN INTERVIEW ANYONE WE WANT, WITH THEIR ENTIRE FAMILIES, OUTSIDE IRAQ, WITH NO IRAQI OFFICIALS PRESENT-- ANYTIME WE WANT.

Rob I thought this was scratched long time ago. Sure hope you are correct. Do you know why it is now back again? Better yet, what arm twisting occured to make this apart of the resolution once more?

HEY......KOFFI ANNAN!!!

[RobFromGa]

Yep- it's still in there:

---excerpt from resolution------
5. Decides that Iraq shall provide UNMOVIC and the IAEA immediate, unimpeded, unconditional, and unrestricted access to any and all, including underground, areas, facilities, buildings, equipment, records, and means of transport which they wish to inspect, as well as immediate, unimpeded, unrestricted, and private access to all officials and other persons whom UNMOVIC or the IAEA wish to interview in the mode or location of UNMOVIC's or the IAEA's choice pursuant to any aspect of their mandates; further decides that UNMOVIC and the IAEA may at their discretion conduct interviews inside or outside of Iraq, may facilitate the travel of those interviewed and family members outside of Iraq, and that, at the sole discretion of UNMOVIC and the IAEA, such interviews may occur without the presence of observers from the Iraqi government; and instructs UNMOVIC and requests the IAEA to resume inspections no later than 45 days following adoption of this resolution and to update the council 60 days thereafter;

We are negotiating with communists!

And I thought you were a perfect lady! ;-)

If only. I chose this name not because I AM one but to try and remind myself to BE one.

It rarely works.

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

SADLY...I suppose it is all we can do, is to appease....

[A_perfect_lady]

Koffee has been totally finessed by Bush; he's now trying to "get out in front of the parade."

I wish he'd get out and stand in front of the oncoming tanks.

[epluribus_2]

or 13. If we find anthrax that matches letters from last fall, UN rules regarding right to self defense supercede this whole bloody charade and WE ATTACK.

[Mo1]

Oh, and point 14:
"If Bush wakes up on the wrong side of the bed and decides to whack Saddam, WE APPROVE."

ROFL ..... YEP

[Mo1]

Sorry I'm late .. what did I miss??

[Freedom2specul8]

Thanks for the ping my friend!!

[VaBthang4]

Listen I appreciate the reasoning behind this post but I dont care what the UN does. Pass it...dont pass it. We are still going to war.


And rightfully so.

Linda Vester is interviewing Scott Ritter on the phone right now ..

[Howlin]
