"Ironically, diplomats from some countries that had long pressed for sanctions to be eased and opposed the invasion of Iraq, are now saying the restrictions should stay in place until the U.N. certifies that Iraq is free of banned weapons.

"For the Security Council to take this decision, we need to be certain whether Iraq has weapons of mass destruction or not," said Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov."

Gosh, I love this.
So when are we going to get the UN inspectors? I can't wait for first UN inspector report. How will Blix spin this report I wonder.
Remember kiddies, that just prior to us going in there, Blix was talking about how he could speed up this reporting time. Now, how long will Blix take before the first report to UN?
And finally once we get this report, the UN ambassadors are going to have lots of fun asking Blix the "normal questions".
