Thanks to Sandeep - Ireland Against Sanctions. Mind bending. -----Original Message----- From: Brendan LaRocque [mailto:larocque@students.wisc.edu] Sent: 02 May 2002 00:26 To: foil-l@foil.org Subject:UN investigations: Iraq vs Israel It appears to have slipped Ari Fleischer's (& the reporter's) mind that Jenin is located in Occupied Palestine, not inside the sovereign nation of Israel. And there's the other pesky fact that a few years back the UN team in Iraq was used as cover for US spies. Details, details.... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- Transcript Excerpt from White House Daily Briefing, May 1, 2002: Q: I know you rejected this earlier, but if we get into a situation whereby Sharon is allowed to unilaterally reject having a U.N. mission take place, do you, in effect, set a precedent that puts us in a situation where Saddam Hussein could even come back later, and say, well, you didn't force Sharon to allow U.N. fact-finders in, why should I then allow U.N. weapons inspectors in? Is it the same? MR. FLEISCHER: I think any comparison of a sovereign nation, a member state of the United Nations like Israel, which is working with the United Nations as a sovereign nation, to a nation that fought a war, lost a war, and had the terms of an armistice agreed to by that nation as surrender terms -- comparing the situation of Iraq to Israel is wholly without any basis. Don't forget what Iraq agreed to Iraq agreed to as the terms to end a war. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ---------------------~--> Buy Stock for $4 and no minimums.
