More on Iraq...

The Anonymous Researcher

The PM, 27 Feb 2003: β€œTo those who say we are rushing to war, I say this: We are now 12 years after Saddam was first told by the UN to disarm; nearly six months after President Bush made his speech to the UN accepting the UN route to disarmament, nearly four months on from resolution 1441 – and even today we are offering Saddam the prospect of voluntary disarmament through the UN.”

Iraq starts to disarm (if only a little bit.) Then...

Jack Straw, 7 March 2003: Saddam has 11 days to disarm totally.

Have I got the facts wrong or does this seem ridiculous? I'm not just saying that - it really IS possible that I've got the facts wrong.

Discuss.
