2/12 hey war nerds, who forced out the last UN weapons
inspection team in Iraq? Was it the Iraqis, or
was it the united states? no this is not a troll. thanks
\_ Why would have the US forced out the weapons inspection team?
\_ Er. They were pulled because the US was starting bombing.
\_ Iraqis, sorta. Repeated refusals to allow inspections of palaces
and limiting access to some facilities had the UN inspectors give
up and go home. That caused the renewal of sactions.
\_ If you don't know, just keep your mouth shut
\_ Actually, the ignorance is telling. My impression is that most
Americans have already forgotten that it was the UN that
ordered the inspectors out in preparation for US bombing. I
think a great many have revised history in their own heads and
believe that Iraq ordered them out.
\_ And why were they ordered to get out? Because the Iraqis
weren't letting them do their jobs. So who's to blame?
\_ Do you actually listen to yourself?
\_ What the fuck do you expect them to do? Inspec the same site
hundreds of times? I know maybe you think they should inspect
shopping malls and grocery stores. The Iraqis
agreed to cooperate at the end of Gulf War. Iraq violated
the terms of cease fire, the US inspectors left out of
frustration and disgust.
\_ Wrong.
\_ OK So everyone is wrong but you. Post a reference
please? (Not the socialist club either)
\_ Ooh. What's the socialist club? Can I join?
\_ Tony Blair did an interview last week in which he was grilled for
saying that the Iraqis forced us out. He said that because they
were not allowed to do their work, they were "essentially forced
out". So whether you say that the inspectors left because of the
Iraqis or because of UN inspectors is entirely moot.
\_ Even your favorite anti-war pedophile Scott Ritter
testified before Congress to the effect that the
inpsectors were hindered. Exactly how would you remedy
such a situation. Allow to me guess - like the French,
you would recommend Iraq pass a law outlawing WMD.
In fact, the Democrats, such as Daschle, Berger,
Gore, etc. engaged in vociferous sabre rattling over
the issue. But in the end, like everything, they were all
talk. |
