Threat of war over as Saddam starts to destroy all banned weapons

Harlequin | 03.03.2003 10:17

Saddam Hussein recently agreed with the USA to destroy all of its banned weapons and to co-operate fully with UN weapons inspectors as the threat of war came closer. The first ten banned missiles have already been destroyed and more will be destroyed soon along with other stocks of banned weapons.

Iraq has finally caved in to months of pressure by the USA and Britain thus ending the threat of war once and for all. This breakthrough has been welcomed by all sides as a sign that Iraq is serious to destroy all remaining weapons of mass destruction as stated in resolution 1441. Troops will remain in tghe Gulf area though to ensure that the destruction of banned weapons continues until all of them are gone.

the alsamoud missiles were only "banned" on Hans Blix's whim in January --

Harlequin,

You really have gone a bit mad, haven't you?

If you think the US/UK axis is going to accept anything
short of total capitulation from the Iraqis, then you're
living in a different universe to me...

Now is the time to build up the biggest possible resistance
to war, not sit on our backsides.

No one wants war though!

Tony Blair and George Bush have stated time and time again though that they don't want war! What they want is simply for Iraq to comply with UN demands, so there isn't going to be a war as long as Iraq continues to comply!

why?

Why is it you continually post on here?

I sometimes think people are overly harsh with you, as you don't seem to be particlarly well informed.

But also you are often ridiculed as an agent provocateur.

Why is it you never respond to such critisism?

If I was accused of same, I should try and clear my name, yet you never mention it or argue back?

It makes your opinion on these discussions less valid, as I'm sure you are aware by the amount of insults as opposed to intelligent debate you inspire.

Wassup harlequin? Are they right?

Two things I don't like: His face

I mean, PC Harlequin is completely off the scale.

He oscillates between the most god-awful embarrasing ultra-leftist phony anarchist drivel (all non-rioters are traitors/marching won't change anything/lets all kill a copper/smash Starbucks windows with our heads etc etc) and this kind of wide-eyed Blairite innocence (our leaders tell us this so it must be true).

No consistency whatsoever. What are you Harly? A rabid black flagger or a shiny happy government-supporting android? You cannot be both.

Everyone else: He's either completely barking or is trying some half-arsed psy-ops with all the usual blundering lack of finesse of the secret services.

If there was ever any proof that our "masters" are not superior and omnipotent , its this joker.

This war will go ahead, its like a wedding. They've sent out the invites and booked a marquee and hired a band and everything.

However our protest movement gets bigger by the day and we *can* stop it, as well as getting rid of some of the bigger pricks in our collective consciousness while we're at it.

Sadly it apears that Harlequin we will just have to live with.

Stop the War!
