This is the action France and Russia have taken the lead in blocking.
France is now circulating a petition through the SC hoping to triple the number of inspectors, despite Hans Blix saying more inspectors are unneeded. They are requesting more time for inspectors, despite Hans Blix saying that, with substanitive Iraqi cooperation, this could have been a very quick process. In fact, Hans Blix told the UN SC, the disarmament varification process could have been completed in 1991. Since France isn't listening to what the UN inspectors are saying, why do they want more there?
Mark, you believe Saddam should be removed "forcibly"?
Everything I've seen you post until now has said the opposite. Are you talking about some non-violent form of force? Some kind of military action where people aren't hurt?
