My apologies, some corrections to the above:

"The targets most commonly engaged in the Southern and Northern no-fly zones are anti-radiation missiles - used to destroy mobile air defence radars and surface to air missile launchers - DU munitions being developed are for use against hard targets - neither of the targets described above are hard targets."

The first part should of course read:

The targets most commonly engaged in the Southern and Northern no-fly zones are engaged using anti-radiation missiles - etc

And:

"The Bush Administration is actively engaged in diplomatic means to ensure that Saddam Hussein complies with Iraq's obligations under the terms of past and recent UN Security Council resolutions. That is having effect because the US and the UK have convinced Saddam Hussein that if he does comply a very credible and capable force is mustered on his borders to ensure that those resolutions are complied with."

The second sentence should read:

That is having effect because the US and the UK have convinced Saddam Hussein that if he does NOT comply a very credible and capable force is mustered on his borders to ensure that those resolutions are complied with.


CarolC:

to paraphase your post above -

"Teribus, one man's propaganda is another man's "established and verifiable fact"..... I notice that a lot of your "established and verifiable facts" don't stand up to much scrutiny."

I haven't seen any of them challenged successfully to date - you are welcome to try.
