truthful

do you fell that iraq will be truth ful in its report or not.?do you think iraq will be truthful

I don't think that Iraq is being truthful or that it will be forthcoming. I think we need to be aggressively inspecting their country, as the UN regulations allow. When we find something, then we move to the next step. I don't think that the next step is automatically war. To me, the logical next step would be to destroy that weapon and continue to look for more.

I don't see how war would help anything as long as inspectors are allowed in the country and freedom to go whereever they want. Once inspectors are kicked out, then I think that war might be an option--but only then.

I don't think that lying in its report is something to go to war over--what did we expect? (Unless all we want to do is go to war, then we would have set it up so that this report is all the evidence we need to attack.)

War is hell. Thank God that we're not being attacked, and think hard about visiting that on other people--the majority of whom would be innocent bystanders in an already poor country.

hard to say.... most people think that Iraq does have the weaponry, consider its past history, the reports may be nothing more than a move to buy some time.

Saddam Hussein honest?

Nah.  He hasn't been honest in the past, and his "politics" and how he takes care of his people says a lot about him.  If he's honest, then he's got a split-personality somewhere.

Given that the report is "don't have any, haven't for ten years", I'm pretty skeptical. I'd guess they've done their best to clean up and hide evidence, using all the time they bought by stalling.
