A 6-STEP PROGRAM….Britain is in a frenzy of UN activity trying to secure passage of a second resolution that sets out firm benchmarks for Saddam Hussein. Here they are:
-
Mr. Hussein must admit on Iraqi television that he possesses weapons of mass destruction and will now disarm fully.
-
He will account for and destroy stocks of anthrax and other biological and chemical weapons.
-
Mr. Hussein will permit 30 scientists and their families to fly to Cyprus for interrogation by United Nations weapons inspectors.
-
He will admit to possession of an unmanned drone aircraft discovered by inspectors.
-
He will promise to destroy mobile production facilities for biological weapons.
-
Mr. Hussein will pledge to complete the destruction of all unlawful missiles.
I guess it’s worth a try, but it doesn’t seem likely that anything like this will fly in the Security Council.
And when you get right down to it, isnt #1 the only one that matters? The others are really just window dressing, aren’t they?
