Remember 2000 Bush Campaign for the Presidency. Did he not promise that the US would not be the World�s Policeman?

I don't think so.............
participating states had agreed a set of guidelines on how they would carry out interceptions of ships or aircraft. "
Three huge cargo ships feared to be carrying Iraqi weapons of mass destruction are being tracked around the world by British and American intelligence.
The vessels, which have been at sea for three months, are believed to be carrying weapons smuggled out through Syria or Jordan.
They are all refusing frequent requests to provide details of their cargo or destination and officials are worried that the vessels are maintaining radio silence in clear contravention of maritime law, which states all ships should be in constant communication.
Despite grave suspicions of what is on board, Britain and the US are afraid to order interception by naval ships because of fears the crews would scuttle the vessels, each between 35,000 and 40,000 tonnes. If they are carrying chemical, biological or nuclear weapons this could cause catastrophic environmental damage.
The vessels have called briefly at a handful of Arab countries, including Yemen, but they have been resupplied at sea with food, fuel and water by other ships. All three were chartered by a shipping agent based in Egypt and are understood to be sailing under three different flags of convenience.

It is well known that the nation of possessing and selling most of WMD in the world is US! To think the so-called Iraqi WMD is sold by US during the Reagan-administration. To remember US has earned most money in the world by selling WMD. To recall the very US supprted Israel to possess nukes and has been pretending not to know anything abuot it.
US should search WMD in your own Ship
