Re: Portrait of the average American voter... BZZZT! Surprise surprise. WRONG again. http://www.un.org/Depts/unmovic/Bx27.htm I begin by recalling that inspections as a part of a disarmament process in Iraq started in 1991, immediately after the Gulf War. They went on for eight years until December 1998, when inspectors were withdrawn. Thereafter, for nearly four years there were no inspections. They were resumed only at the end of November last year. [...] Iraq has on the whole cooperated rather well so far with UNMOVIC in this field. The most important point to make is that access has been provided to all sites we have wanted to inspect and with one exception it has been prompt. We have further had great help in building up the infrastructure of our office in Baghdad and the field office in Mosul. Arrangements and services for our plane and our helicopters have been good. The environment has been workable. Our inspections have included universities, military bases, presidential sites and private residences. Inspections have also taken place on Fridays, the Muslim day of rest, on Christmas day and New Years day. These inspections have been conducted in the same manner as all other inspections. We seek to be both effective and correct. [...] #1 History has proven them 100% right, for one. #2 Even though (as I have proven) they were not just paper pushers, paper pushers are able to see through utterly fabricated garbage, like the evidence George Bush presented to Congress, the Nation, and the U.N. on fictitious Iraq-Niger nuclear materials. "The implementation of resolution 687 (1991) nevertheless brought about considerable disarmament results. It has been recognized that more weapons of mass destruction were destroyed under this resolution than were destroyed during the Gulf War: large quantities of chemical weapons were destroyed under UNSCOM supervision before 1994. While Iraq claims – with little evidence – that it destroyed all biological weapons unilaterally in 1991, it is certain that UNSCOM destroyed large biological weapons production facilities in 1996. The large nuclear infrastructure was destroyed and the fissionable material was removed from Iraq by the IAEA." Okay, you defeat me. I can't continue to waste time on correcting each erroneous post you throw out. It's obviously not going to change your mind, any clear thinking individual has already been convinced against your position, and it's turned into a many-headed hydra. Cheers! -- Ken Tough Ken Tough
