Heard the same thing on FNC. Too little too late. It's easy to make a decree like that when you already have the WMD's.

So now Saddam will go out (ahead of Inspector Blix) and "find" some WMD sites himself.

BUMP - Saddam then proclaims himself hero and savior of his people, the world, etc. (BARF)

I feel so enriched by this proclimation!

All I can see adding to it is 35 cents, and then I'll be able to buy a cup of tea.

Iraq Bans Weapons of Mass Destruction [Full Text] BAGHDAD, Iraq - Saddam Hussein issued a presidential decree Friday banning the importation or production of nuclear, biological or chemical weapons, or any materials that could be used to make them.

The decree was announced shortly before the chief U.N. weapons inspectors were to present new reports on Iraq's disarmament to the U.N. Security Council. The decree was issued, apparently, in response to repeated U.N. demands that Baghdad outlaw weapons of mass destruction.

"All ministries should implement this decree and take whatever measures are necessary and punish people who do not adhere to it," the presidential order read.

The decree banned individuals and companies from all sectors from importing or producing any material that could be used in the production of weapons of mass destruction. The Iraqi government insists it possesses no such weapons.

The decree came before Iraq's parliament was to meet in an emergency session to consider a similar piece of legislation on banning weapons. It was unclear how the presidential decree affected the parliament meeting.

In New York, chief U.N. weapons inspectors Hans Blix and Mohamed ElBaradei were to deliver their reports to the Security Council on Iraq's compliance in eliminating weapons of mass destruction.

The United States and Britain claim Iraq has not complied with the inspections, and have threatened to disarm Iraq by force if they are not convinced it is doing so on its own. [End]

on FOX news, they said it prohibits the importation of WMD into iraq. whew.

Actually, I'm in favor of importing all kinds of weapons into Iraq. I guess Saddam is hoping that such importation will not occur.

But it's gonna.

Saddam does Clouseau one step better than Hans Blix. Suddenly he's a convert to World Peace. Hallejujah!

I think the poor Iraqi peasants are saving their pennies to build and buy WMD! That stupid decree sounds like it was not him, Saddam who ordered, and funded the WMD programs

And isn't it ironic that Diane Sawyer is the one to make this monstrously unimportant announcement.

George W. isn't buying it.


President Bush gestures as he responds to questions from the media during his meeting with Australian Prime Minister John Howard in the Oval Office at the White House, Feb. 10, 2003 in Washington. Bush challenged France and two other allies Monday to reverse course and allow NATO to defend Turkey against Iraq. He also accused Iraq's Saddam Hussein of ``trying to stall for time'' by offering last-minute concessions. (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais)
