No need for UN arms inspectors in Iraq: US official

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The United States would not like to see the return of UN arms inspectors to Iraq (news - web sites), a senior State Department official said.


"We don't think it's needed at this time," the official said on condition of anonymity.


"The inspectors' purpose was to ensure compliance with the UN security council resolutions, and those resolutions are sort of (overtaken by events). There might a role for UN inspectors at some point in the future, but that debate is way down the road."


The official's comments were in response to remarks Sunday by International Atomic Energy Agency head Mohamed ElBaradei, who told CNN the UN inspectors should be allowed to return as quickly as possible to "finish the job."

Do they even care about coming up with believable stories anymore?

if the UN has a few more resolutions laying around for countries that have oil, the U.S. would be happy to bomb the sh...er, enforce them.

. . Hate to have those UN heart-bleeding PEACE-lovers in the BFEE's way !

. . -If the Murikkkan cowboy hadn't ignored the UN in the first place, there would be about 400 more American live son's a daughters and 2100 NON-wounded American miltary

and lest we furget, betcha Saddam wouldn't have killed the tens/hundreds of thousands that the USA has managed to do in the last six months

Just My Humble Canuck Opinion

Bush makes Saddam look good by comparison.

violations of occupation laws?

bombs and baby nukes they used against the Iraqis

it's not AWOL's country.. just his illegal war.
