Poodle and The Puppeteer
January 11, 2003
By Mike McArdle
Tony the Poodle is starting to get nervous. With a January 27 date for the UN weapons inspectors report looking more and more like it will pass without any evidence of those much talked about weapons of mass destruction turning up in Iraq, the Daily Telegram is reporting that the Brits may be wondering what the big hurry is after all. With Hans Blix now expected to ask for more time for inspections Blair may be finding it awfully hard to say no.
Blair appears to know that it's politically and logically untenable to threaten a war over weapons, demand the right to search for said weapons, perform the requisite search, find none of the aforementioned weapons and then fight the war anyway. Blair's Labor Party, none too happy with his planned military adventure to start with, would have a hard time sitting still for this one. So maybe if we just wait a few months, you know, put things off until Autumn maybe we can find some weapons and pull the trigger then.
