Sammy sez 'yes'...
Iraqi state-run television announced President Saddam Hussein's acceptance of a U.N. resolution on weapons inspections Wednesday, hours after the country's ambassador to the United Nations told the rest of the world. "We would like to inform you that we have decided to deal with the resolution 1441 despite the bad intentions included in it," a television announcer said, reading from a message from the Iraqi Foreign Ministry to U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan. "We are ready to receive inspectors to carry out their mandate in making sure that Iraq has not produced mass destruction weapons while they were absent from Iraq since 1998." Well, I'm surprised. I didn't think he'd accept until Saturday or Sunday, at the earliest... Thanks to Steve for the link! Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2002-11-13 |
