What else is in that report we don't know about..

Probably no bombshells or we would know by now. The report was distributed after the UN session yesterday, and that's when this little gem was uncovered. If there was something else, I'm pretty sure we would have leaked it to further prove that Blix is enabling the Iraqi regime.

Good Lord, this just proves the incompetance of the Inspectors, and those who support the...(France, Russia, Germany...etc).

For about the 100th time in about a month, it is time to say to hell with the UN, and lets go.

Ouch. I wish I could say that's an unfair comment, but after reading yesterday that the Germans would not come to our aid with decontamination equipment, your statement is demonstrably true.

Blix has downplayed all of the serious non-compliance issues and given the benefit of the doubt to Hussein in each report. But this oversight of the drone, and not orally stating it Friday, is no accident but intentionally keeping facts from the U.S. and Great Britain which we are entitled to.

Time to expose Blix for what he is, a total appeaser in bed with Saddam, the French, and Germans.

Blixie-baby couldn't pour piss out of a boot with instructions printed on the heal--unless he got a money wire from Paris first.

I'm convinced he's [Blix] in the employ of someone else, and is being very well-paid.

AMEN!

I used to think Blix was merely incompetent. Now I believe he is completely EVIL. Why on earth would he bury a report like this and then give lip service that the French etc. could use to mislead the world. The man belongs in jail.

Things we know (or at least we think we know)...and things we can extrapolate.

Previous weapons inspectors were bribed (or blackmailed). We saw one potential target making a complete joke of himself on Fox nightly. When he was kicked off Fox, he went overseas.

It is not outside the realm of possibility that has happened again.

Hussein has threatened NATO members and France with exposure as a contributor to their weapons program if they don't hold the line against US and others intervention.

Given what we know Clinton and Co were willing to give away to China, North Korea and Russia, it is quite possible to believe he sold us out to Bagdad as well. Perhaps they have been holding onto a communications intercept involving Bill. Who knows? What ever it is, there is more involved than politics. In short the Dems (collectively or individually) may also have been quietly hit with one of those extortion threats. Why else would they risk so much trying so hard to stop this action?

Much does not add up. Many bring suspicion upon themselves by their behavior. I fear at the end of the day we will discover that the US has been betrayed by some at home who at one time swore an oath to defend this nation.

Agreed!!!
But, that of course would never get press coverage, like the nazi's in hollywood do. Again, Mr. Sheen, You're NOT THE PRESIDENT. That's only make believe fun for TV...
LET"S DO IT!

" To the fury of British and American officials the disclosure was buried deep in his 173-page report and not mentioned in an oral presentation to foreign ministers. The plane is being studied by inspectors to determine whether it can exceed the authorised range of 92 miles. "

It's time to saddle up and go get Saddam. Every day the threat gets more serious. We better take him down before he uses these weapons, not after. Please, President Bush, act!

[SADDAM HUSSEIN has been trying to acquire a fleet of 300 drones equipped with spraying devices capable of delivering chemical and biological weapons, it was revealed last week.]

But... This can't be true! Saddam must be using these machines to spray harmless insecticide on his many far-flung palaces. He sadi he had no banned materials.

What a charade. Let's Roll Already!
