2/6 Yesterday at the UN:
UN French Ambassador: "this whole issue could be solved if
Iraq would pass a law banning the production of WMD."
\_ HAHHAAHHAHA! I haven't had such a good laugh in a while.
\_ No worse than the US's "let us invade and we'll show you the WMD
after we find them. Really."
\_ France has already acknowledged Iraq has WMD.
\_ the u.s., uk, russia, china, france all believe iraq is hiding
their wmd. russia, china, france think, for good reason, that a
u.s. attack now would be destabilizing. the argument has been
and will always be, 'why look like the world is submitting to
u.s. hegemony? saddam can't do anything while inspectors are
there. the longer the inspectors are there, the better chance
they'll find something damning, which can be leveraged.'
\_ They are hoping for a reach around.
\_ Nonsense. While the inspectors waste time, he's doing shit
in other parts of his very large country. And then what are
you going to say when he kicks out the inspectors and announces
he has a nuke in 6-9 months? More inspections? Sanctions?
Or just welcome him to the nuclear club as the nice guy that he
is? Join this world, please.
\_ france is asking for more inspectors
\_ Then Iraq joins like Pakistan, India, Israel, and South Korea
did. So what? Saddam is a meglomaniac, not suicidal. Power
is his kick. And the 6-9 month guess is crap.
\_ Everytime the inspectors get close to something, Iraqis with
guns tell them: "You can't go there." They had to get led to
the empty warheads by their nose, otherwise they wouldn't
have found those either.
\_ I think you should check your facts about this ...
\_ France and Russia have oil deals with Saddam, if the sanctions
are ever lifted. They want Saddam to behave and stay in power.
Unfortunately neither of those will happen.
\_ And don't forget how much business France and Germany have there
in non-oil deals and how much WMD related shit the Germans have
been illegally selling them since '91. All that is going to come
out and make the Germans look exceptionally bad after Saddam's
Iraq is crushed. |
