I think that this ultimatum really did reveal what this war is all about : it's not about weapons of mass destruction (otherwise they could have used Blix's 12 key disarmement tasks to give Iraq one final chance to disarm) it's just that they've wanted Saddam out of Iraq since the Gulf War and this whole Sept 11 / paranoia about terrorism finally gave them the opportunity to do it.
I'm also liking the Iraqi response to the ultimatum:
| quote: | Sabri said Bush, not Saddam, should be the one to yield power.
"He should go away from the presidency and let the Americans lead an ordinary life with other nations, not a life of aggression, a policy of aggression against other nations," Sabri said. "This policy has brought about disasters to the U.S. So for the U.S. to live properly with the world and for the world nations to live in peace, this crazy man should go." |
