"The United States agreed Monday to give cash-strapped Jordan an additional US$85 million this year to bolster economic reforms, health services and other projects in the Arab kingdom." Baksheesh for help in the war against Iraq? Let's hope so.

Did the United States help create the Saddam bioweapon monster by supplying him with germs back in the 1980s? If we did, then it was a huge mistake. And all the more reason for the current administration to take responsibility for the mistakes of its predecessors and to go in and undo the damage.

Mother of all canards But of course there all kinds of conditions to the "unconditional inspections" that Iraq supposedly agreed to. Would anybody but a bleeding-brain leftist believe that there wouldn't be?
