Sammy sez weapons inspectors will come back...
2002-08-11
The UK government has dismissed Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's promise to a British politician that he would allow U.N. inspectors back. The Iraqi leader told George Galloway, a supporter of terrorism maverick left-wing Labour MP, that he would implement all U.N. resolutions on Iraq and admit weapons inspectors without hindrance, the Mail on Sunday newspaper said without quoting the pledge directly.
Sure. It could happen...
Galloway, who has visited Iraq on numerous occasions, also said: "Saddam clearly understood that Iraq has to be seen to go the extra diplomatic mile and he promised to do so."
"...to obfuscate and delay as much as he possibly can."
But the Foreign Office told CNN that the comments would "not change a thing." The spokesman added: "Saddam knows exactly what he has to do — he has to follow the U.N. Security Council resolutions and let U.N. inspectors back anytime and anywhere."
Since the Iraqi opposition now seems to be getting along with each other, and they've met with Cheney (see below) and gotten some sort of a plan together, Sammy can see visions of himself hanging by the heels in a public square, doorknob dead, with his beloved people dancing with joy arund his corpse. But the bad part about being an iron-fisted dictator is that whenever you back down on something you look weak, and when you look weak the hard boys get together and start to plot. Wonder how he's gonna get out of this one?
