Quick interesting note:

The aircraft shown in Powell's UN presentation modified to spray Anthrax was a F-1 Mirage, a fighter of French manufacture.

Coincidence? I think you think it's not!
Oh, separately, Syc your note that <i>Has anyone noticed that the French and American positions seem a bit similar?</i> is even more interesting now than it was 24 hours ago. The new French and German idea, which they will bring to the UN, is that they could have UN forces go in and force disarmnament.
Without stopping to consider all the implications, that does mean they now agree with the US position that force is necessary and even desireable to manage (or oust) Hussein.
IOW all the huffing and puffing about being "against force" was just that, huffing and puffing.
