#1 Blixie is unwilling to state that the drone represents a smoking gun. Is it time yet for Powell to state in public that Blixie is biased??? Depends on the reaction from the "undecided 6". I have seen nothing on their reaction to the drone and the other weapons found this week.

#2 Someday soon they'll all be around with their hands out. Make damn sure we remember who supported us and who stiffed us when that time comes. And it will come.

#3 I heard a clip of el baradi (sp) on the radio last night saying the drones were no biggie, the declared them a while ago...

SOSO.

#4 Betcha we DO get the 9 plus a veto or two. Fox news reported this evening (EST) that 3 of the U6 were coming 'closer' to the US position. I just can't imagine Mexico and Chile staking their future on an Iraq vote. The 3 african nations, either. France has already staked out it's future as anti-US, but is it possible that they can bribe or threaten the others better than the US?
I think GW will consider 9 with a veto a victory. Whoever issues the veto will then be isolated. Real high-stakes poker.
