War on Iraq:  
 
IRAQ HAS "CONDITIONS" ON INSPECTIONS (as expected)

From the The Evening Standard London September 17, 2002

"The disclosure that restrictions were, after all, attached to Saddam's offer was made by the London ambassador of the Arab League which brokered the deal in the first place.

Ali Muhsen Hamid claimed Iraq was being sincere, but he stipulated that civilian sites would not be available to the inspectors. "We support anywhere, any military site (for inspections), but not as some people have suggested for inspections against hospitals, against schools."

Hospitals are among key sites for inspections because of evidence that Saddam uses health laboratories to manufacture viruses for biological weapons.

An Arab League spokesman said only military sites were covered because it would take 10 years for inspectors to examine civilian buildings, which would divert the UN's attention from making Iraq obey its resolutions. "If the US really wants to resolve this dispute it will welcome the offer," he added."

When will CNN, ABC, NBC CBS and MSNBC report this? If they do, efn will let you know.

Daschle has unfortunally seen the light at the end of the tunnel and realized the Dems are cutting their throats by making this an issue. Today he was calling for a vote on a resolution before Congress recesses. I don't think you'll hear a lot more complaints from Dashchle about President Bush's desire to take it to Iraq before they nuke us.
