And is Tony Blair's willingness to accept total political suicide also a 
positive signal on your part? Did you know that Winston Churchill was jeered 
and mocked when he went to Parliament during the 30s warning that Hitler was 
violating the treaty of Versailles, and that Chamberlain was cheered and 
praised when he came back with a piece of paper on which was Hitler's 
promise not to make further incursions? And finally, did you know that the 
percentage of French oil that is imported from Iraq is much greater than the 
percentage of US oil that is imported from Iraq, and that Iraq has 
explicitly warned France, in an Iraq daily run by Hussein's son Uday, that 
if France supports military action on Iraq, The French oil companies Elf and 
Total might as well close their offices in Bagdhad?

FOR THE FOURTH TIME, HAVE YOU READ RESOLUTION 1441? John, once is an honest 
mistake, twice is a possible mistake, THREE times is conspicuous, but FOUR 
times is downright willed blindnes. And this from someone TALKING about WtP! 
Paragraph 4 of resolution 1441 specifically gives the criteria for a 
material breach, and it EXPLICITLY says that Iraq must FULLY COOPERATE, not 
"progress." And the inspectors themselves have already explicitly said that 
they are not receiving full cooperation, especially regarding interviews 
with scientists.

Would you like me to start a count for the number of times you are going to 
post the above without having read resolution 1441?
