Hello chris
reality check:
1) How amusing to see the revisionist history about what Blix thought or said! Now he apparently *supported* the contention that there were WMD. The 9,212,343 redneck messages attacking him and/or his French stooge masters (look up Blix on google) for daring not to describe the acres of WMD bristling under his nose, must have been thinking of a different Hans Blix.
2) In WWII they didn't need large numbers of troops scratching in the dirt to find evidence to support war.
3) The US is currently losing at least 5 troops per week in Iraq. For what? The Iraqis aren't thanking you, and you've already stated there is no business advantage for the US.
The whole exercise should be handed over to the UN as soon as possible so we have somebody to blame when it turns to custard.
Regards
JR
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
