I'm currently listening to the weapons inspectors reporting

To the UN, and damn is this guy loquacious. Get to the point already.

Sounds like they only found the empty shells, looks like it's time for us to piss eveyone off and go after Iraq alone. What a crock this entire process was. Like I said earlier, this was just a ploy for a troop massing.

-edit- Now Blix is saying Iraq is not being cooperative as promised, and the weapons report was mostly reprints of old documents as well as untruthful. Hmm

So thats it then? We can all sleep safely, or is there still going to be mass death?

Troop massing, and hoping they actually would find something to give them a clear excuse. Now theyre gonna hafta risk being blatant about it.

Couldn't we just plant something there

Looks like the inspection team hasn't found anything.

Blix indicated that they have some serious concerns in the area of biologicals, because the numbers provided by Iraq on amount of material used versus what they were known to have is way, way off. He specifically spoke of the possibility of 6,500 pounds of missing anthrax.

The IAEA is having his turn now.

A common thread to both is that everyone of the scientists is refusing to be interviewed without an Iraqui official present.

So, there are definitely material breaches of the resolutions in the areas of biologicals and missile development. There is currently a technichal violation on the point of interviews.

That's about it.

Thanks Fallanthas for the update.

tanc..STFU please.

Fallanthas · Post by **Fallanthas** » January 27, 2003, 2:10 pm

Ok, they are done now.

Basically, they haven't found anything conclusive and are hitting the same "passive" resistance that has been met in the past.

So no, Iraq is not going to cooperate fully, and are thus in material breach of Resolution 1441.

Question is, is that enough to go to war on?

Question is, is that enough to go to war on?

More than enough given that the US (and Britain, sigh) have said they'll do what they damn like and screw the UN, and the inpectors are UN.
I still think the decision was taken months ago and we're gonna get a war as soon as spin-control gives them the good-to-go.

Tanc,

Do you realize who John Edmonds is calling into question in that article ?

It's not the US. It's the UK's Institute of Directors (IOD). He's basically making a moral argument to say that it's wrong to look at the economic affects of war. That's his opinion, not fact. Like it or not, war will have an affect on the US economy, the Iraqi economy, and the world economy. Personally I don't see it as immoral to study that ahead of time and be prepared for it.

I really hope you didn't read that article and think it said the reason the US is in Iraq is because of a short term economic gain.

Heard an interesting comparison, the dead line they gave Iraq was like half the amount of time they give GWB to come up with a budget plan for the US. Something like that anyway.
Give it more time, send more inspectors! Send many many more, and and keep them crawling over every inch of sand for the next year. Paying 6000 UN inspectors has to be cheaper than war, and its giving people jobs....

Anything to keep from going to war. And most importantly send women.
Men cant find even their balled up socks under the couch.

Well if you check out kweil's ever so insightful post about all the 133t shiznit he would do if he were George W Bush, you can see where he is coming from.

Cotto · Post by **Cotto** » January 27, 2003, 6:20 pm

thats he's a moron?

Sabek · Post by **Sabek** » January 27, 2003, 7:05 pm

Essentially.

That or he is like 12 and thinks it would all cool to go cowboy and launch some badass nukes at them bastards in Iraq.

Boogahz · Post by **Boogahz** » January 27, 2003, 9:04 pm

Especially since we know that ALL Iraqi's must be bad people... if we took that route, we would have nuked some places in the US several times already.

Tanc,

Do you realize who John Edmonds is calling into question in that article ?

Yes being a UK citizen I'm well aware of who they are

I'm just astounded that any organisation can talk so casually about what kind of war they want because it would be best for 'the market'.
Rest assured I don't believe the US has a monopoly on Culpable Inhuman Stupidity.
