watched bits of the ari fleischer post-u.n. report press conference on cnn.
i caught it when he was answering questions by reporters. is it just me or are the reporters challenging the bush administration more now? this reporter (who i only know as terry, i think) asked fleischer if, now that iraq has accounted for i think 280 prescribed (is this even the right word?) missiles, the u.s. would now ask them to destroy them. ari would not answer him right out. that was weird. and then the reporter asked him again. and again. and ari would only try to squirm his way by talking about other points besides the destruction of said missiles. that was funny to see.
i would just hope that some u.n officials would come right out and challenge the bush administration on what their motives - disarmament or right out invasion. they are two very different issues and the u.s. is looking like fools trying to get a war going before the inspectors are even done with their work. this is the u.n., not the iraq defense system. the u.n. was put in place precisely for these kinds of problem.
and iraq doesn't even seem to be present a clear and present danger to the u.s. right now. so why the rush and outright lies to get iraq? i would just wish someone would put them on the spot for it instead of the u.n. having to justify their inspection process every couple of weeks.
the bush administration is not the world police, but they sure do act like it.
ps. is anyone in the u.n. taking notes on all the illegal actions the u.s. is taking and willing to take if they attack another country without the u.n. backing? i hope they are.
sheesh, it sure seems like bush doesn't know what's waiting for him if he does go with a unilateral strike against another country. everything that his administration has been saying about saddam hussein will be applicable to his administration. and then the u.n. will have to ask the u.s. to disarm their weapons of mass destruction. and then we'll go through that circus all over again.
tunnel vision is fun, isn't it? (bully tunnel vision, even more so)
