Dear anti-jihad mujahideen, Thanks for the transcript of Bush's speech. An extract was aired on BBC's world service yesterday night, and a few politicians commented it. In particular, there was an emphasis on compensations due to Kuwait by Iraq, and how a lacking payment of these (ie. a non-compliant to *all* SC resolutions) would not in itself justify a war. The issue was presented as if no compensations had ever been paid. Can Casi experts brief us on how much has been paid out and how much still needs to flow to Kuwait ? Shukran! Reading Bush's speech, I realise that compensations are only mentioned en passant and don't deserve the fuss they made on BBC. Regards, Daniel, Amsterdam, NL PS: 2 weeks ago, De Volkskrant (influential Dutch newspaper) published the results of an EU poll about the planned war: 75 % Europeans would back a war endorsed by a SC resolution, while only 10 % would accept it without SC authorization. Keep zealous! _______________________________________________ Sent via the discussion list of the Campaign Against Sanctions on Iraq.
