Gobalopper Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 http://216.26.163.62/2003/me_iraq_01_27.html"Indeed, the anti-inspectors vastly outnumber the couple of hundred of UN personnel on the ground in Iraq," Wolfowitz said. "We have reports and other evidence of prohibited material and documents being relocated to agricultural areas and private homes or hidden beneath mosques and hospitals. Furthermore, according to these reports, the material is moved constantly, making it difficult to trace or find without absolutely fresh intelligence. It is a shell game played on a grand scale with deadly serious weapons."Looks like Iraq isn't being as helpful at revealing their weapons as they say.

Good info.I'm not surpised your media does that...I've already seen a couple American specials to the effect of "Why do other countries hate us so much?"Guess presenting the truth doesn't really matter if it won't get people to watch.

nampigai Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 The 8 countries backing the US up did it behind the back of the other EU countries, wich I don't think is very good thing in a Union where you are suposed to work together, this is why I believe we should have a president in the EU. Our Premier keeps saying that we would need the UN mandate, before we would join in any war, however even with a UN mandate half of the Danish people is against a war.

Caid Ivik Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 France and Germany are trying to take over EU! Typical isolationistic, but still power-lusting "old Europe", how Rumsfeld said! EU is a confederation, civilian state. Armies are independent, under unite NATO command. Anyway, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic aren't members of EU. When there is a possibility of danger from Iraq, it must be stopped when he have the power. How our premier yesterday said: "In last century were democratic countries also silent and tolerant to militaristic dictator. 50 million people lost their lives because of it."

nampigai Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 I agree Caid, if there's no other way we would have to go to war, however we are in a union, some countries like Belgium and Sweden never had the posibility to sign the letter, I don't want to see a divided Europe like we had under the cold war, with some countries being good pals with the US and others who aren't, that would be a major setback. What I fear though is how this war will be looked at in the Arab world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude_Doc Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Yes, I heard that Japan were not allowed to have nukes, but signing a peace-treaty with the UN and etc would change some things around, wouldn't it? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edric O Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Long live Germany and France, and all supporters of world peace!The EU should finally put its foot down. It's about time we stop acting like the USA's humble subjects! EU member nations should resign from NATO and place the foundations of a European military alliance.

emprworm Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 The EU, if it has any worth, will not let France and Germany take it back to old Europe. France has a financial interest in keeping sadaam in power. And they will not be letting up anytime soon cuz they don't want to lose the mucho $$$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
