Saddam Hussein Indicates
Iraq Will Not Destroy Controversial Missiles
Iraq should not destroy those missiles, especially while under constant attack from the US and UK.

War and the Press
Watchdogs, Lapdogs and Sleeping Dogs

Allies hushed up weapons' destruction
THE highest-ranking defector ever to turn informant on Saddam Hussein’s government told United Nations weapons inspectors in 1995 that Iraq had destroyed all its chemical and biological weapons stocks after the Gulf war. But UN inspectors hushed up that part of Hussein Kamel’s story - which he also told to debriefers from British and United States intelligence - because they wanted to keep the pressure on Iraq to tell more.

U.S. on Diplomatic Warpath
The word is out: Rebuff on Iraq could reduce aid

Secret US plans for new Iraq
Iraq's government-in-waiting held a two-day secret meeting at a Washington military staff college over the weekend with 100 American officials - plus representatives from Britain - discussing plans for post-war reconstruction.

President Bush is right:
the countdown to war will test the UN's relevance
The Bush administration's attitude to the United Nations is extraordinary.

They regard the UN almost as a socialist conspiracy, an alien supranational power planted on Manhattan as a standing affront to the values of freedom and democracy.

Fidel Castro arrives for NAM Summit
Cuban President Fidel Castro arrived on Sunday for the Non-Aligned Movement summit, where he is expected to denounce US-led preparations to invade Iraq to disarm the country of alleged weapons of mass destruction.
Lie! Not to disarm but to occupy and control its resources.
