New news out on FOX is that the inspectors found a totally different missile type designed for chemwar.

It will be touted as a success for inspections, but th epress will forget that the fact it wan't reported in the first place means Iraq hasn't been cooperating. As if we don't know that already...

About the news of new chem-war missiles, I'm sure you are right about how the press will try to play it. At this stage though the only audience that matters much are the UNSC members, particularly the swing voters. We're going in anyway. It only matters whether we have the PR cover of a UNSC resolution or whether we go in after a failed resolution or over a veto. Those seem to me to be the only three possibilities. The last is the optimum. Nine yes votes then a veto. We can call it a moral victory, and then let the U.N. get sunk by the veto.

The question I want an answer to is how the swing voters on the SC view this. Most ordinary people don't follow the news like most freepers.
