This is a french manuver. It is a way for them to say, "see we could have done this peacefully but the cowboy americans did not wait."

Since the french leak like a sink, I wonder if the war will start the second the diplomacy ends. Thus the french can add fuel to the antiamerican fires with complaints about mr. blix's efforts being curtailed against the will of the UN.

As weird as this sounds, I do not believe the UN should be trusted with a post war iraq.

everyone, please

THERE IS NO INTERNATIONAL LAW!

There are conventions, there are treaties, Even a book on international law will tell you there is no such animal.

The AP story is just fanning the USA vs the World leftist themes.

There was a thread about a journalism chat area were the journalist discuss this stuff. It was poynter or something. Probably some good inside infor there.

France called for an emergency U.N. ministerial meeting Tuesday

The war may already be over by then, Jaques.

After listening to the news conference in the Azores, Blix described the situation as "very threatening," but he made no plans to evacuate his weapons inspectors in Baghdad, saying he was watching the situation "hour by hour."

Just heard on the top of the hour news that Mr. Blix has reassessed the situation and has decided to pull up stakes from Iraq.

All I can say is, it's about time.

It may just be that the most effective way to keep Iraq from getting WMD would be for us to liberate France.

LOL!

You know, if this ends up getting us out of the UN, then the wait will have been worth it.

On Friday, the French surrender, unconditionally.

On Saturday, the French petition The UN to become an offical colony of Texas.

Haha. Very good ;-)

If only it were possible to immerse them in a big vat of Preparation-H (think that's what it's called), do you think we could make them disappear?!

Fair, Squant. Had some bizarre medical symptoms a few days ago and have to go this afternoon for an MRI, MRA, Doppler ultrasound, etc. etc.

Should be finishing the revisions on the novel this week that my agent has asked for. After that, assuming he concurs that it's ready to go, the real marketing begins. The wheels of publishing turn slowly, though. If it sells to a publisher right away, it still wouldn't likely hit shelves until late 2004-2005. He's gonna push it hard as both book and movie, so we'll see. And in any event, rest assured you'll get an early copy!
