Everyone in the UN has said that the 12,000 page report was a LIE, now he is saying it is the truth????This is like listening to a bad episode of COPS

>>Does that mean to top off the gas tank and buy bread and milk?<<
You mean you haven't already? Make that jerrycans in the garage, saltine crackers, and powdered milk. Don't forget peanut butter, canned tuna & a manual canopener. I expect the stores to be stripped bare fifteen minutes after the bombing starts.

Iraq can not be responsible for these U2 overflight planes.
Is that a threat I just heard?

He now says Iraq encourages their scientists to engage in intereviews requested. Translation: "We've killed all the remaining scientists who actually know anything."

Our government is bad but our people is not! If the people aren't bad then why didn't they overturn the Nazi party when they rose to power? It's not like the Nazi's were a majority.

I remember reading that right after President Bush gave his speech at the UN last fall, Saddam ordered all the family members of the UN people back home...so this guy's family is being held really, he HAS to give a good speech back.

One of the most striking unstated conclustions from Powell's speech was that the inspectors have been compromised. The Iraqis knew where the inspectors were headed days before they arrived.
Of course, this limits our ability to share our intelligence about weapon locations.
This is one of the clearest arguments against further inspections. I wish Powell had stated this fact more explicitly, but perhaps he didn't want to shame and directly accuse the inspectors of collaborating with Iraq.
To: NautiNurse
Yes. They have sent veiled threats that they would shoot down the U-2's if they fly over. They also suggested that they would let the U-2's fly over IF they had escort fighters from the Iraqi AF.

Iraq has sent completely filled out death certificates (minus the time and date of death) for the ENTIRE families of the scientists we want to talk to. That's how they've warned the scientists not to talk and still say they have not "directly" told the scientists not to talk to us. Exactly.
AND President Bush told us about the death threats to the scientists *and* their families in his SOTU speech. Notice how little coverage it received in the media.
Back to combover: He is *surprised* at Powell's assertion Iraq would use chemical weapons against their own people. He cites a report that stated Iraq didn't have such weapons. I'm sorry, but I missed the alleged source of this "report".
