WASHINGTON =96 Iraqi officials have failed to live up to promises of
increased support and aid to U.N. arms inspectors, U.N. officials told
the Washington Post.
The Post, in a report today from Baghdad, said Iraq was apparently
taking heart from the split in the Security Council regarding possible
military action and the worldwide protests against war on Iraq. As a
result, Iraq has changed from saying that its officials are complying
with U.N. demands to asking for a lifting of sanctions instituted
against Iraq after it was forced out of Kuwait more than 10 years ago.
"We have not seen any positive moves on the part of Iraq," one U.N.
official in Iraq told the Post. Another said, "They are not fulfilling
their promises."
U.N. inspectors returned to Iraq in November after the Security Council
unanimously passed Resolution 1441, a strongly worded document that
promised "serious consequences" should Iraq not live up to the
stipulations outlined in the document. Those included giving U.N.
inspectors unrestricted access inside Iraq and orders to report any
interference by Iraq with the inspections.
The newspaper said that since Friday, when lead weapons inspectors Hans
Blix and Mohammad ElBaradei reported to the Security Council, the United
Nations has not seen Iraq carry through on promises to deliver documents
about old weapons programs nor have there been interviews with
scientists involved with possible weapons technology.
"We have done when was asked of us - and the whole word sees that," the
Post quoted an unnamed senior Iraqi official as saying.
A U.N. official in Iraq told the newspaper that Iraq could well give in
to U.N. demands, but only if the Security Council and lead inspectors
pushed their point.
"What we've seen is that without pressure, Iraq is not going to
cooperate with the inspectors," the official said.
Appeasers Abet Saddam
Over the weekend there were large appeasement demonstrations in several
cities around the world. The United States and Britain are having
trouble finding support for anything stronger than additional
inspections in Iraq in their Security Council deliberations.
The Post cited Iraqi newspaper accounts terming the appeasement movement
a "humiliating international isolation" for the United States and
Britain.
The Post quoted a U.N. official as saying: "They are feeling: The world
opinion is with us. We can resist further pressure. We have time. We can
play with the U.S. and U.K.
"This is very dangerous."

British PM Neville Chamberlain and
French Premier Edouard Daladier

What would Sir Winston say now concerning the vile and cowardly
appeasement policies of Chirac, deVillepin and Schroeder regarding
today's Hitler, Saddam Hussein?
Especially concerning the same hideous applause given to deVillepin at
the UN Security Council that Chamberlain got when he waved that useless
piece of paper in the air....

This has little to do with travel in Europe, but everything to do
with your biased view of the world. 'W' could have avoided
much of the current problems by making sure that France and
Russia would have first choice of oil (and other) contracts in
Iraq. This would only have been fair, as they got there first.
But 'W' needs to pay back his campaign financiers, and so
will allow them to hog all of the Iraq oil for themselves.
