#5 Clearly this is a typo. The UN warned Iraq that they had 48 hours before U2 frontman Bono was to be nominated for a Noble Prize and Saddam only had a short while to do something really anti-American to ensure he was also nominated.

The confusion over the message may have caused Saddam his nomination and only increases the likelyhood of war as he tries to for the write in vote by thinking up something particularly vile.
