This whole thing stinks. Screw the UN. Put the screws to these terrorist, maniacal regimes. Do they go to the UN before they send their snakes off with bombs strapped to their bodies and stuffed in their cars? How many American's have to die at the hands of these despots and their terror minions before we handle this and be done with it??

Stepping off a UN transport aircraft earlier, Mr Blix said: "We have come for one reason and that is because the world wants to have assurances that there are no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

BZZZT!!! Um, no Hansie, sweetheart, that isn't what the whirled wants.

We want PROOF that there are no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Now get to work, goofball, or we won't bail your butt when the Sh*t hits the fan. You'll be "irrelevant."

key members of the Security Council disputed the legality of the no-fly zones

Well, this is a fine time to bring that up, isn't it? Wonder why they never expressed this "concern" before.

Boring, nothing is going to happen.

I take that back something will happen the federalis will tighten down the screws more on US citizens and allow the illegals to walk free.

Its already a done deal, if we want it to be. They are firing on our aircraft, even while pretending to accept the terms of the resolution.

Based on that, we should at the very least proceed to occupy the northern and southern no-fly zones. Tomorrow.

It said Iraq's repeated attempts to fire on American and British aircraft in the no-fly zones amounted to a "material breach" of the latest Security Council resolution.

This to me is not defying the UN...It is outright stupid!!!!

LOL. No fly zones are an invention of the US and Britain. They are not authorized by any previous or current UN resolution. Thus, Iraq cannot possibly be "breaching" any UN resolution by shooting back.
