  • U.S. Expels Two Members of Iraq's U.N. Mission

    Please, no bashing countries, people, or anything else. Be civil.



    UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The United States expelled two members of Iraq (news - web sites)'s mission and told them to get out of the country within 72 hours for activities "harmful to the United States," a U.S. source said on Wednesday.


    The two were described as diplomats, but Iraq's U.N. ambassador, Mohammed Aldouri, said the they were security guards.


    The men were identified as Nazih Abdullatif Rahman and Yehia Suaoud and were accused of activities outside of their official duties, a term that usually but not always indicates spying.
    Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice, pull down your pants and slide on the ice.

    Ah back to old days of political sulking except I don't think Iraq can expel any in return though.

      Iraq already has expelled everyone. *shrug*

      We're trying to plug all the leaks. There's a reason they know about inspections ahead of time.

                LOL.

                Hey, it's not country bashing to say that France leaked inspection details to Iraq. It's documented. Facts aren't bashing. Facts are factual.

                    But heaven forbid we say anything BAD about France.

                    Just saw on TV that they will vote against any ultimatems to Iraq. They think that so long as Saddam keeps showing "signs of cooperation" that it's good enough.

                    So basically as far as they're concerned, every time they get really pissed, he just has to produce a couple missles and destroy them.

                    Apparently they don't care that he continues to lie callously to the rest of the world. Silly little Frenchies.

                      Out of curiosity, why would frnace leak this info to Iraq and where is this documented? Do you have a link I could check out?

                        rench would leak this info becuase they have interests that makes loads of dosh.
                        Remember dosh and political interests make the world go round.
                        Thats why we sold a load of arms to a certain country to beat up another nasty guy.
                        It failed and now we want the toys back.

                          Yup. Difference is we admit to selling Saddam weapons back when, and the French deny having a vested interest in Iraqi oil concerns.

                          In fact, I'm pretty sure they never officially admitted to leaking inspection info, but it's pretty well documented. Doc has a link I'm sure.

                              Nor does it make it false. It happened, cope.
