If the Sunday Telegraph knows this, why don't the U.N. weapons inspectors?
There is also evidence that Saddam's most sophisticated Chinese-built radar tracking systems are back to strength.
Germany, France, now China...who else was it who said we shouldn't bother poor little Iraq? Russia maybe?
Tomorrow I think I'll find a Russia article.
I'm going to be terribly disappointed if this isn't mentioned either in the U.N. report on Monday, or the SOTU address on Tuesday.
AUGUST 2001 31 August 2001 Vol. 4, No. 27 IRAQ SAID TRAINING AGENTS FOR 'TERRORIST' OPERATIONS IN KUWAIT.
24 August 2001 Vol. 4, No. 26 SADDAM CONTINUES TO SEEK ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY.
17 August 2001 Vol. 4, No. 25 EXPLOSIONS ROCK IRAQI MILITARY INDUSTRIAL ORGANIZATIONS.
6 August 2001 Vol. 4, No. 24 SCIRI SAYS RUSSIA, CHINA HELPING IRAQ REARM
If it isn't ... then that tells us exactly were the UN stands
I just got finished watching Fox News Sunday and Bill Kristol made a good point about why Bush isn't going to spend a lot of time talking about Iraq in his SOTU address. He said, and this makes perfect sense to me, that Tony Blair is coming for talks with Bush and Bush doesn't want it to look like that firm decisions have been made before he talks with Tony Blair. He said that Tony Blair has done absolutely everything that we could expect from an ally, and Bush is helping Blair out by holding down his Iraq talk in the SOTU, so that it won't look like this meeting between Blair and Bush is just Bush giving Blair his marching orders, so to speak.
