Zeev, I totally agree with your new scenario.. I have thought all along that we were merely taking the hard line with Iraq. We have stated many times that we do not want war, but Iraq must comply. Another possibility that the reason the munitions have not already been ordered is that we have plenty stock piled. I thing Irag has not intentions of disarming and your scenario would fit "their" plan well. My questions is how long will the likes of France, Russia China and others allow this to go on before they change their attitude? I do not think this new possible scenario bodes well for the current Turnip view! Maybe we will shift our focus from IRAQ and deal with the Maniacs in Korea now to let Iraq play their game for a while...
