Iraq VP labels inspectors ‘spies’

Dec. 4 ó As the White House expressed serious doubts about the search for banned weapons in Iraq, Baghdad lashed out at the U.N. inspectors on Wednesday, calling them American and Israeli spies. The United States called for the inspectors to intensify their work by staging multiple,simultaneous weapons checks to ensure that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein meets disarmament demands. They visited two sites on Wednesday ó a nuclear facility and a chemical and biological weapons plant ó but it was not known what, if anything, was found....

Go figure..

Today i heard a sound bit off the Radio news that the VP of Iraq was saying that he had no weapons..

When asked if he had heard that the inspectors found Mustard gas ( i believe) he simple replyed..No i had not heard that!

Guess he should have checked his messages before he went to the interview!

Boomslang

Theses inspections are just a piece of a big game. The war is comming and the Irakis know it, we know it, EVERYBODY know it.

well......er........they are spys aren't they?
I mean thats what a somone who works for one government who goes to another country to snoop around the workings of another government are called aren't they?

Holy Shiite, Loopy...I leave for a well earned vacation, and when I come back, yer STILL stirring the pot with your rediculous drivel! Do we really have to tell you what a spy is? I must say, I really can't believe you are so stupid as to believe the crap you post. Let's see if I can put this in perspective for you. First, a definition...

Spy - A clandestine agent employed by a state to obtain intelligence relating to it's actual or potential enemies at home or abroad - One who secretly watches another or others - the act of watching secretly or covertly

Now, since this idea seems to have escaped you, lets define a few more words in the above definition...

Covert - Secret; Clandestine

Clandestine - Concealed or kept secret; Surrepticious

Secret - Concealed from public or general knowledge or view - operating in a hidden or confidential manner

Now that we have Mr. Websters take on the reality of the words, lets look at the reality of the situation. The inspectors are not in the country secretly, and are not conducting buisness in a clandestine manner. Therefore, the are not spies. What country invites spies into it's boarders? Even the Iraqies aren't that stupid.

Funny how you take the conspiracy/anti-American/anti-democracy/anti-UN/pro-terrorist view on virtually every post made on this board...

Sorry, Loopy, but your worst nightmare is back!!! HA!!! Better get out the Tums for your indegestion!!!

er.....who are you?

GREAT !!! With your help, now I know that I was a military spy.

And I even didn't know it.

I'm just a little surprised Websters can't spell "Surreptitious"

Well, UP, you better watch out, then...Loopy is gonna come and get you!!!

"Ladies and Gentlemen, another outragously whitty comback from Loopy!"


Dood, try to come back with something substantial. Your childish attacks on people's grammer and spelling are getting old. But I guess that's all you have...your arguments sure don't hold water...

actually AR we were having quite a civil discussion until you turned up and started throwing random insults about.
not sure who you are but may I suggest you join in the discussion or go back to whichever rehab centre you just took your "well earned break" in.
cheers.

Actually, Loopy, there was nothing random about my remarks. My aim was dead on. And as far as insults go, read your own post, hypocrite. The tone you put forth was far from civil, as usual. What's good for the goose is good for the gander, eh? Live with it...

can I get some Ritalin over here please?

Sure you can...take as many as you need...

Inspectors, or spies, what is the difference? Although technically NOT spies (they are an independent organization from any single government body) they are poking and prodding at several sensitive parts of the Iraqi government. Defining a spy and starting a flame war is something that happens on boards with 12 year olds. I always thought this was a better place.
In the end, depending on what side you view the inspectors from, they could be spies. In the previous "inspections" some of the American inspectors admitted to spying and reporting back to American authorities instead of the UN. However, Blix has promised that if any "spy" is found on the team they will be removed immediately. The whole issue is extreemly sensitive for both sides.
Regardless of how the inspections go there will be a war, not for the people of Iraq, not for the protection of America, but rather to secure an oil rich country in the Middle East to be America's playground.
