I think we need to have Kofi Annan pull up a chair at this table..

what's the text?
are years allowed for inspections?
if they conclude: yup, they're in 'material breech', how many months or years of debate would be possible regarding the remedy for this case?

[B.Bumbleberry]

Up to 45 days to begin inspections + 60 days for first report. Inspectors might begin sooner. 105 days from today is Feb 21, 2003. Just about the time for action to begin. This assumes that to buy time Saddam will act as if he agrees with the resolution and will pretend to file the disclosures required, because he has no choice. There are going to be some high stakes poker played in the next 3 months. Saddam's bluff is about to be called.

Here it is

[PsyOp]

"If the enemy is to be coerced you must put him in a situation that is even more unpleasant than the sacrifices you call on him to make. The Hardships of the situation must not of course be merely transient--at least not in appearance. Otherwise the enemy would not give in but would wait for things to improve...." - Karl von Clauswitz.

And the noose tightens...

I hope the other side keeps on underestimating W and his strategery. This is not a guy who loses.

It is now soooo obvious these dimwits (UN)knew that as long as President Bush had a demo majority in the Senate they could continue the status quo. Well they obviously watched Tuesday night and saw what we all did. America has spoken and is serious. Serious enough to give both houses a REPUBLICAN majority. They know that this is serious now and the republicans will kick some ass, no bones about it. The bLAME AMERICA crowd is really the minority despite what the media says. GOD BLESS AMERICA, AND GOD BLESS PRESIDENT BUSH AND HIS ADMINISTRATION.
