What was the count 17 or 18? What's hilarious is how Saddam didn't even really try and hide his non-compliance.
Bush said it best, the rest of the world shares our assesment, but not our resolve. |
A funny thing about Saddam's non-compliance--as the following article illustrates, the U.S. had no intention of holding up their end of the bargain either. Never mind the supposed weapons; they weren't going to lift sanctions as long as Saddam was in power no matter what he did. Moreover, as Saddam had pointed out, the UNSCOM weapons inspectors were being used for U.S. espionage at the same time they were supposed to be just inspecting--hardly a tactic that encourages compliance.
