UK dismisses Iraq’s nerve gas move |
2003-03-15 |
The government today dismissed Iraq's "Pull the other leg, Mr. Blix." Mr Straw told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "At each stage what Iraq does is introduce Three guesses, and the first two don't count. The party chairman added: "Kofi Annan has already said that 'If Iraq's defiance continues, the security council must face its responsibilities'. Kofi: "We must then debate some more! Iraq will surely come to its senses if it sees how serious we are about debating this to death!" "It was therefore doubly disappointing to hear the "Mon dieu! No one should take responsibility!" "Is it any wonder that it is proving so difficult to reach agreement on a second resolution?" Mr Reid echoed the foreign secretary's insistence that war without a fresh resolution would still be legal. "While there is a legal base under 1441 and previous resolutions, we are working for a new security council resolution, because we want the world to stay united on this, to preserve UN unity and maximise pressure on "Until George says, 'let's roll'." |

#3 "Is it any wonder that it is proving so difficult to reach agreement on a second resolution?" IE its not the fault of the africans, mexicans, chileans or the Pakis. Its the fault of the FRENCH. This seems to playing well in UK. Chiraq clearly overplayed. game over. |

#2 Those worthless UN resolutions shouldn't even be called resolutions. The absolute last thing that the UN has demonstrated is any sort of resolve...... |

#1 Boy UN resolutions and Islamist fatwas. The former are absolutely worthless, the latter are documents by nuitcases. This is not a good thing to say, but at least the latter tries to implement theirs. More causes of global warming.... |
