[operation clinton cleanup]

What is Iraq going to say? oops, we forgot about the sanctions? They have been shipping oil to Iran on small boats for years, inside Irans teratorial waters where U.S. ships are forbidden.

What is Iraq going to say? oops, we forgot about the sanctions? Sanctions? what sanctions? Saddam and cohorts will probably use this incident to ignore history and declare this an attack on Iraq. IMO, that's a given, I am just ruminating how far they will push this .

Yes, but the Unitd States has pretty much always known that Iraq smuggles oil...thus giving the lie to Saddam's accusation that US sanctions "are responsible for the deaths of 5,000 Iraqi children."
