Iraq's declaration even resorted to unabashed plagiarism, with lengthy passages of United Nations reports copied word-for-word (or edited to remove any criticism of Iraq) and presented as original text.

Except for the above quote, which makes Rice sound like a school marm intent on expelling a student for academic cheating, this is a very strong and compelling argument. It's too bad it will only be read by a very small percentage of Americans.

Well, that cuts both ways... If I had my way, NOBODY would read the New York Times.

Maybe we should send Joe Biden over to conduct inspections and lecture the Iraqi's on plagiarism!

And repeated to the non-reading Americans by the network news readers....

It's too bad it will only be read by a very samll percentage of Americans Thanks to our schools, the number of Americans who know how to read is shrinking rapidly. The democrats of course love this trend, soon they will gain perpetual power in the USA.

I think Condi's intent was to show how amateurish and small beer the Iraqi regime's attempt at lying actually was.

This is a damn good piece, and reduces the argument to its essential core: Saddam is lying, he will never disarm, and here is why.

A good preview of the SOU Speech. Coupled with Powell's comments, this kind of thing tells me that certain decisions have already been made.

Be Seeing You,
