#1 I find it just disgusting that those hypocrites at the UN have not immediately lifted sanctions on Saddam being ousted: and worse, that the Left has not condemned them for it.

Remember, these are the "crippling sanctions" responsible for the deaths of "500,000 Iraqi Children" TM, that the socialists blamed the USA entirely for.

So now the UN is continuing the sanctions with NO reason... I hear the sound of crickets chirping on the Left coast of Australia/USA/Britain

#2 Russia's deputy U.N. ambassador, Gennady Gatilov, said there is a need ``for an objective international organ to certify the situation.'' ``In what form it can be done - that can be discussed,''

::snicker:: He said "organ".

We can be sure they'll be bending the U.S. and U.K. over before using said organ.

#4 I've got to say that I'm in favor of allowing Blixie and his team back in, to inspect and verify to their teeny-tiny little hearts' content. The more the merrier. If the U.S. teams are finding stuff, and the UN team's not, then the UN team looks stoopid and obstructionist. If the UN team finds stuff, then it demonstrates that the Iraqis were obstructing them and the Blixicrats were pretending they weren't.

If nobody finds anything, then all of them are looking in the wrong places.

#5 I'll side with Fred. Didn't Blix say that Iraq probably doesn't have WMD and all the US evidence was made up? Let him in and poke his nose in the first barrel with sarin the US inspectors find.

#6 Blix has already proven he's not really interested in finding Iraq's WMD. Remember his tirade about Global Warming??? His dumpy little Swedish rear needs to be sent back to Stockholm in a can - preferably one that held Sarin precursors. The Iraqi situation at this point should not be subjected to anything from the UN.

Simple way to keep it from happening: Don't declare the "war" "over". Say it's unsafe for UN inspectors to nose into anything. Cite the Fedayeen Saddam or the international bounty-hunters from the rest of the Arab world as the reason. Then let the Coalition go ahead and do what needs to be done. Once everything's done, a new government in Iraq, and stability in the region, tell the UN there's no reason for them to poke their noses into the affairs of a sovereign state. We'll have four or five years of gripes from UN members, but it will preclude 50 years (or more) of "refugees" - IE, the Paleostinians.
