Subject: RE: BS: Should Saddam comply with Resolutions?
Good point Gareth, from reports by BBC's reporters in Kuwait the last two missiles fired from Iraq were aimed at targets (oil installations) 40 kilometers south of Kuwait City.

For those missiles to have been "legal" under UN terms they would have had to have been fired from inside Kuwait. They weren't they were fired from inside Iraq, from a position not yet reached by US forces. Launch signature would seem to indicate SCUD - not Al-Samoud 2. i.e. Saddam is firing missiles he says he does not possess, but missiles that UNSCOM said they suspected that he did have in 1998.
