According to John Burns of the New York Times, now reporting on the Lehrer News Hour, weapons inspectors have determined that weapons equipment had been moved from a site without any accounting, and amid Iraqi denials of having moved anything. The equipment was known to UN inspectors, because it had been recorded during earlier, mid-to-late 1990s inspections. The Iraqis were obliged to notify inspectors every six months of any changes in the placement of the equipment. Burns says that the exact equipment has not been released.

Oh "Iraqis"! That makes more sense. I initially thought the headline said: "Iroquois Caught Moving Weapons Materials." Images of muskets and tomahawks flashed by.

"So can we start bombing now???"

Patience. We haven't got all our forces pre-positioned yet. My bet is that the balloon goes up sometime in early January. Regardless of what is found before then, unless of course, it is Saddam trying to release Pappa Bug on the world. Then the Predator drones that have been watching everyone go boom, and the Third Army follows.

I love jambalaya and have been known to make a mean pot of it.

I'd love to have your recipe! Please, pretty please?!!

[Kadric]

Nope just the inspectors saying you only have 4 more days to put it some where you wouldn't mind us finding it.

Freep mail me about mid week next week. I will also send you a recipe that I have developed for seafood stew using fresh seafood that has been developed over the years living near the ocean.

I'm getting ready to fold for the night and tomorrow and the rest of the week will be involved with contractors in redoing water damage. ugh.

I was going down the Wagner road myself...Then Moonlight Sonata popped into my head..Something about skilled precision and directed mutilation of your enemy live on CNN (muted of course) while Moonlight Sonata is playing on the Bose in the background...I dunno...maybe it's just me too...

Patience is in order. We not only need to wait until our forces are in place, but a complete sweep by these inspectors may induce Sadam to move things around. As the inspectors move about the country our intel may be able to detect where the stuff is "moving". This may result in better targets.

Will do.Sure sounds DELICIOUS! Thanks. Good luck with the contractors.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

They weren't suppose to move stuff left by the prior inspectors?

I thought we were starting over!

[Psycho_Runner]

Thanks for the song.

[humblegunner]

Can you imagine those people if Uncle Saddam and his top 5000 evil doers get whacked

The people there hate Saddam.. they may not speak it, but it is so.

[Rockitz]

Of course there aren't many dogs on four legs in Iraq!

According to Islam scripture Muslim, volume 1 (a book of Hadith- collection of Mohammed's sayings/commands), Footnote #486- The dog is of the unclean beasts according to Islam and eating eating its flesh is forbidden and its keeping in the house is also prohibitted for the Muslims. And in the Bukhari (another book of the Hadith) vol IV, no. 540- Allah's messenger (Mohammed) ordered that the dogs should be killed.

Where's PETA when you need them?

That's because they want to live!

The hardest part will be getting those inspectors to leave so we can start bombing.

Those inspectors are dead men walking.
