So....bottom line is.....you are ALWAYS willing to give the UN, el Baradei, and others the benefit of the doubt.....but NOT your own country or your own president. EVEN after we now know that they've pretty much been on Saddam's side of things all along and have engaged in illicit dealings with him that went against their own sanctions.

When is it going to dawn on some people here that these people are NOT our friends? That do not work in the best interest of the security of the world. They work FOR the Arab nations and AGAINST the U.S. and Israel every opportunity they get. They let Saddam have these deadly plastic explosives because they wanted him to have them. Even after knowing he'd used chemical weapons on his own people...and even after knowing he'd brutally invaded a neighbor. And now they complain that they are missing???? I would bet money, marbles, and chalk that someone in a leadership in the UN knows exactly where they are! That's how much I don't trust any of them.

And BTW, this is the same manner in which they are currently handling Iran.

"Mr. ElBaradei was providing advice to Iran on how to avoid sanction from his organization for its previously undisclosed uranium enrichment programs.
Mr. al-Baradei has publicly urged the Iranians to heed an earlier pledge to suspend enrichment, but he has also opposed America's policy of taking Iranian violations to the U.N. Security Council."

So....Raytri......who's side does it look like ElBaradei is own here? Who's he been working for? And if he's working on behalf of Iran.....don't you think there's a good chance he was also working on behalf of Saddam Hussein? Personally.......I have no doubt.

All this brings us to the question of why the UN weapons inspectors never worked and the UN sanctions never worked.....and were NEVER GOING TO WORK with Saddam. Why do you think that in the 90's whenever the inspection team was headed somewhere, somehow Saddam got wind of it and was able to move stuff? Someone inside the UN was protecting Saddam every chance they got.

Wake up and smell the coffee for heaven's sakes!! The UN is a big part of the problem we are currently having and have been having for some 13 years now.
