I've told you once, I've told you twice...
Quit bad-mouthing weasels. They are noble creatures, unlike the dirtbags in Paris, Bonn, and Beijing.

Time to just tell the UN - you guys do what you feel you have to do, and we're gonna do what we feel we have to do. (But don't permit any inspectors in Iraq, because we are going to take the regime down.)

Ok. That's fine. We'll just send the 101st to do the inspecting.

U.S. troops out of the Balkens now. Let the French, Germans and Belgians keep the peace there, if they want to. We have more important matters to take care of.

So what we have here is the "non-aligned" nations vs. the US/Britain & Co. which is basically the way that the continuing war will go. It's bound to come down to the two commie overseers vs. the free world just like we always knew it would.

Jacques Chirac, French president, also appeared confident that his round of consultations among the non-permanent members gave "the pro-inspection camp" a majority in the Security Council ahead of the crucial report on Friday by Hans Blix, UN chief weapons inspector. So we go in anyway, essentially telling the "pro-inspection camp" to pound sand. What are they going to do? It'll be hard to impose sanctions on the US when that "camp" is floating on a barge at the 12 mile limit and the UN building is turned into welfare housing.

A test of US hegemony when our economy is down and our military is spread around the globe. I expect we will see some more pressure points applied to us soon.

..They are noble creatures.. Real weasels are..
..but these are a select group of "morph'd" weasels that no longer resemble their once proud lineage.

In a little more than one year GWB has gotten some of our worst enemies to *BEG* for more inspections and lengthened sanctions in Iraq.
That's a huge victory in anyones book.
Let's not forget where this whole issue was before 9/11. The general mood among countries was "perhaps a decade of sactions was enough".
GWB has changed all that, and made them BEG FOR IT. Amazing.

Ivan, I know a lot of Americans have told you this before and after 911, but allow me to add my voice to the chorus of many, when I say:
God Bless Britan.
