Greenpeace sends "inspectors" to US embassy in Oslo
OSLO (AFP) Feb 12, 2003 International environmental group Greenpeace on Wednesday sent "inspectors" to the US embassy in Oslo to "carry out weapons inspections", it said. "The inspection is taking place because of the United States' incompetence when it comes to respecting United Nations treaties on reducing the number of weapons of mass destruction," Greenpeace said in a statement.
"The inspectors are asking the embassy to show a real spirit of cooperation," it said.
Joined by telephone by AFP, one of the initiators of the action, Carl Johansen, later said the embassy had refused to meet with the seven activists.
Similar actions have recently taken place in Spain and Hong Kong, he said.
Greenpeace has criticized the United States for possessing "large reserves of weapons of mass destruction", "continually" infringing on non-proliferation agreements, threatening to deploy nuclear arms and withdrawing from the US-Russian Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty.
"We need to see international accords respected, and not wars started against countries suspected of possessing weapons of mass destruction," another activist, Truls Gulowsen, said in reference to the looming US-led war on Iraq.

Evry time the greenies show up on the high seas they should be treated as the terriorists they are blown out of the water.

Yeah, agreements that we never signed on to.
1. First, defeat the people you want to inspect.
They also forgot #2: 2. Get them to sign an agreement allowing inspections.
They forgot #3:
3. Try to get them to cooperate with the inspectors

28. Try to get them to cooperate with the inspectors again.
29. Threaten them with yet another resolution and assess your capabilities in case you might actually have to enforce one of these resolutions some day. discover that you are Greenpeace and you have one boat and an assortment of unwashed draft dodgers, dried up old red daiper babies from America, a bunch of French liberals and German treeworshipers as reserve troops and that your army doesn't even compare favorably with a US Army of One, and then admit to yourself that your Navy was once defeated by ...
...the French.
30. Realize that if you have been defeated by the French, all hope is lost and your gene pool must be defective. Surrender to the American embassy and next time, only entertain the idea of inspecting French embassies for Weapons of Mass Obstruction. Do NOT consider inspections on German embassies, as they only look like pacifists but probably are knee deep in supplying Iraq with real WMD and might revert to old form and invade all of Europe again if you push them too hard.
