	UN weapons inspectors report Remove this text

I hope this thread doesn't get closed.

quote: The presentations by chief weapons inspectors Hans Blix and Mohamed ElBaradei were far more measured than the harsh assessments of Iraq they issued two weeks ago to the council. The response to their reports makes it highly unlikely the United States could muster the nine votes needed to authorize war now. Without nine votes, France, China and Russia would not be placed in the position of having to exercise their vetoes.

Seems like Blair is softening, and W. is just a shade less hawkish.

Yep....my reading is "tone down the rhetoric *just enough* to build broad-based support, then hit him."

Hans Blix and Co were hired to write a report on what they were shown in Iraq. They were shown nothing therefore he reported nothing. Hans was hired to report what he saw, not question what he was shown.

I agree with Vel here.
It'll buy enough time to European governments to convince their population that Saddam has exhausted his last chances. The European media will change to bear a pro-war message, and we'll have a beautiful slaughter with plenty of support, like Daddy had.
All Euro countries will lick the generosity of the US, and everybody will be happy. Except the dead, the crippled, the wounded and their families, but who cares anyways ?

Yes, just like them. But the Iraqis will get less attention.

They don't have to be dead or wounded. They could be defectors or deserters. The choice is theirs.

Now Boris, don't go ruining a nice unfounded link between al-Qaeda and Iraq with such harsh things as the facts. Yes, of course everyone knows that not a single 9-11 terrorist was an Iraqi (the close allies Saudia Arabia and Egypt provided the rich, fertile crop of jihad-junkies) and that bin Laden hated the Iraqi regime until talk of war in a Muslim country got blasted all over the news (say what you will, you gotta admit bin Laden knows how to spin is stuff. He latches onto whatever's gonna enrage the Muslim street.)

I mean, such things do get in the way of happy caps lock fun.

How will they do that? If W. and lackeys have any sort of thing that resembles evidence, he would have whip it out already. The support for a war has been dropping in the US, and anti-war sentiments have been building up. Powell didn't provide anything new. Blix axed all his sat photos. Blair's report - lets not get into Blair's report.

Of course, anyone who isn't with the Bush administration is a Saddam supporter and should be dead or wounded.
