#2 Didn't think we'd catch that, eh? Oh no, we American cowboys are just not intelligent enough to catch the diplomatic subtleties of the UN-sophisticates. We're far too busy going indiscriminantly wild. Blix, you clown, you are done! Buh-bye.

#7 The drones were not mentioned in the draft report submitted to the Security Council prior to Blix's presentation. Blix was going to keep this secret? It would appear the Brits found out which is why Jack Straw unloaded on deVillepin in such a personal way: "this is chilling read! Dominique"
