Good point. I heard David McKay say this morning that the UN was supposed to destroy these stockpiles but this particular dump was saved by the direct intervention of--Hans Blix. Because Saddam Husein asked him to. Assured Blix that he would use it for peaceful purposes. I couldn't believe my ears. This is one more reason why we had to go into Iraq. The UN is not only incompetent but it's evil.
wow! i had not heard this set of details before. peronsally i think it is time for the un to rethink its mission. i am afraid that without two superpowers, the un has a new unstated mission and purpose. i believe the un is trying to undermine the united states -- and i will leave to you and others to judge their competence in carrying out their new mission and purpose.
