Oh, and by the way...
The Dictator-tot demands it! Make it so!

WH spokes-tool and nanny Ari Fleischer said yesterday that to escape military action, Iraq must disarm and Saddam must be deposed. Pressed on the point, he said both would be necessary conditions because disarmament was the United Nations' goal and changing Iraq's government was the "president's."

The statement puts the United States on a different track from the United Nations, whose resolutions have been concerned with the immediate and unconditional disarmament, not with a change of government in Baghdad.

The Canadian prime minister, Jean Chretien, was pissed. "If you start changing regimes, where do you stop, this is the problem. Who is next? Give me the list, the priorities." - the NY Times.
