The evil one...
BTW: Powell did come up with a lot of evidence...
The UN has a habit of forgetting the reason for its creation. Take for example the human rights commission.The security council is there for a reason
The Iraqis have said that under the present circumstances they cannot guarantee the safety of spyplanes in the no-fly-zones.

I dont know, it could be.
Saddam is still in control of some territory below the Northern NFZ, the Kurds control a portion.
If the camp is under the NFZ, its is probably not in a Kurdish area.
Terrorists camps are usualy in a deserted area, with nothing and no one around.

These are U2s were talking about it is not like they can be shot down by a maniac with a shotgun. You need sophisicated anti-aircraft weaponary to bring down a U2. Unless the Iraqis don't control their own air defences then I think their claim that they can't guarantee the safety of the spylanes is laughable (as indictated by the smilie).
You need sophisicated anti-aircraft weaponary to bring down a U2.
so I see no reason why a U2 cannot be brought down by an Iraqi SAM.

I think what they imply by stating this, is that they might occasionally fire at the U2, and claim afterwards that they thought it was an attacking US fighter plane!

let's face it - US going to war to enforce UN resolutions without UN approval, is a farce.

I am so happy to see all of the opinions expressed in the past page and a half, people speaking sensibly instead of barking maniacally.
This is as insulting as it is vile.But Dralix- stop and think about your UN irrelevance argument: has the UN been irrelevant for the three decades that it has allowed Israel to flaunt its resolutions? The UN is not irrelevant- had there been no UN, we'd be fully embroiled in a massive regional war in the Middle East right now instead of tippy-toeing towards a peaceful resolution.
You know, your one of the few people I'm tempted to call moron, but I will not do it, because I know your not one, despite these assinine comments you just posted.The UN will always be relevant, and necessary, for handling disputes between belligerent governments like those of Iraq and (sadly) the current junta ruling the USA.
Why do people find this so hard to understand? There is like some sort of collective ignorant concerning Israel. Facts don't seem to matter if there is just the appearance of any wrongdoing from the Israeli side and people will believe it in an instant. I don't understand it. If I didn't know better I would say it is anti-semitism but I can't believe that.There is not ONE SINGLE SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION against Israel, there are SVENTEEN vs Iraq.

There are numerous general assembly attacks, orgastrated by RACIST ARAB STATES and pandering European countries vs Israel, and they are all SICKENING.

There won't be more "inspectors".
They were there to confirm the Iraqi contention that they disarmed, instead, Saddam pulled the same hijinx of the last decade.
They aern't detectives, they were supposed to be SHOWN EVERYTHING, BY IRAQ.
Didn't happen.

Junta?
The US Military took over the United States?
Originally posted by Alcibiaties of Athenae
No, it did not.
Again, further proof of how disgusting Democrats and the US Left have become, they couldn't steal the election, so they send out their minions to spread vile and insulting lies about the administration, the administration ELECTED BY US LAW, IN ACCORDANCE WITH TWO CENTURIES OF US ELECTORAL PROCEDURES.
