Are we watching a staged performance here by Saddam, inspectors and the 3 U.N. member nations that themselves violated U.N. sanctions?

If Saddam is considered in violation of U.N. mandates, what about France, Germany and Russia as members of the U.N. who ignored the sanctions and supplied Saddam with weapons, parts, and anything he wanted to build his arsenal? They too are in violation of the U.N.

Yet, if Saddam is painted as complying and, if complying, there is no further need of sanctions, they whitewash the whole mess (at America's expense of course).

Maybe we are seeing cards being played by Saddam to require them to play his game - otherwise their abuse of the U.N. directives will be made public.

--Saddam is given sanctions and resolution after resolution after the Gulf War. Yet, the French, Germans and Russia are contacted and "bought" to supply the needed items for him to continue building his arsenal.

All is well until George Bush looks at this after 9/11 and says - "wait a minute". He innocently tightens the screws on Saddam and out run some unexpected roaches. These roaches had been his allies.

Now, the roaches have to change the whole scenario to cover their own profitable sabotage of U.N. directives. Gone are the relationships with America and in its place they become the dupes of Saddam. Exposed is the total worthlessness of the U.N. whose own members of the Security Council consort with their designated "abusers of mankind" for profit.

Germany, France and Russia undermined the U.N. themselves when they chose to uphold U.N. sanctions while under-the-table milk the source for profit.

Good line. Good thought.

Good post...AXIS OF COCKROACES BUMP!!

Saddam is also sitting on an environmental WMD which he's already showed he has no compunction against using : the oil fields.

Where are the environazi Kyoto-fanatics who should be supporting regime change in Iraq in order to save the environment?? Oh yeah, they're playing 'human shield' at the expense of the Iraqi people, and they didn't care the LAST time Saddam fired wells and dumped millions of barrels of oil into the Gulf either.
