	ME related questions Got spare money?

After the first week of the war I pretty much stopped watching the news or reading the papers.

Can someone tell me:

- if the alleged WoMDs have been found
- if they haven't been found, what is the US governement saying about it?
- is Syria next?
- is Iran next?
- will Sharon accept the roadmap for peace?
- is the PLO reforming?
- does Turkey still have extra forces near the Iraqi border and in northern Iraq?

and a bit less related:

- what are the current standings with North Korea?


Thank you in advance.

From this title I just realised it could be Windows: Middle East edition.

Would probably explain all the crashes...

Well if this isn't lazy...

What is your bank account number? I'll send you €1.25 for a newspaper then.

Or you could check the topped thread here in the OT...

Marcus - yes weapons were found but seconds too late. As the heroic George burst through the doors of the Evil Saddam's underground dungeon, Saddam nuked the world.

And there is no North Korean situation. Everyone is dead. Including you.

Mark:
- if the alleged WoMDs have been found
NO

- if they haven't been found, what is the US governement saying about it?
As little as possible.

- is Syria next?
Don't know. Powell says one thing, Rumsfeld another.

- is Iran next?
Don't think so

- will Sharon accept the roadmap for peace?
Does the pope crap in the woods?

- is the PLO reforming?
Maybe... Still a power struggle.

- does Turkey still have extra forces near the Iraqi border and in northern Iraq?
Don't know, actually. Good question.

thank you Cybergnu, that's the information I wanted.

it's odd. this was was about WoMDs...none have been found so far, so the whole casus belli may be a fabricated one...is nobody questioning/criticising that?

I'll look up info on Turkey's military deployements. I fear they might be ready to step in as soon as the US military leaves...

The pope craps in the woods? I never knew that.

Whenever someone says we haven't found anything, we raise a false alarm. It's quite funny. Every week there's a new suspected site. I think once we get the country secure we'll find stuff though.

not yet.

quote: - if they haven't been found, what is the US governement saying about it?

nothing much

quote: - is Syria next?

define next.
it's next to get sanctions. but we're probably years away from any possible invasion.

quote: - is Iran next?

not a chance.

quote: - will Sharon accept the roadmap for peace?

the question is whether the roadmap will ever reach the stage of being implemented on the ground. the probability is that it won't, thus this question is irrelevant.

if it does - then Sharon will probably accept the roadmap (but only after many changes and reviews, specifying harsh penalties for palestinian terrorism).

quote: - is the PLO reforming?

yes and no.
yes - there's a sligh power shift towards abu mazen.
no - arafat keeps on putting sticks in his wheels and keeps most power to himself
yes - some increased policing action has been seen
no - it was probably local and not directed from above
yes - there might be a new cabinet soon
no - arafat just disbanded the recent abu mazen proposal.
no - it will feature 90% the same faces - corrupt terrorists from tunis.

quote: - does Turkey still have extra forces near the Iraqi border and in northern Iraq?

i have no idea.
