Iraqi Lawmakers Vote Down U.N. Plan
2 minutes ago

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Iraq's parliament on Tuesday unanimously recommended rejection of a U.N. resolution on weapons inspections, but said the final decision would be left to the country's top leadership.

The vote came hours after Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s son recommended that Iraq accept the resolution, but with the condition that inspection teams have Arab members.

According to a parliamentary resolution read during the session, the 250-member parliament accepted an earlier recommendation from its foreign relations committee.

"The council suggests rejection of the U.N. resolution," the resolution said.

It went on to say the "political leadership" should "adopt what it considers appropriate to defend the Iraqi people and Iraq's independence and dignity and authorizes President Saddam Hussein to adopt what he sees as appropriate expressing our full support for his wise leadership."

Uh oh spagettiOs. :uhh:

I wouldn't worry about it:smirk: Like someone said, it was "pure theater". In the end Hussein has no choice, unless he wants a good kick in the backside courtesy of the rest of the world:smirk: He has an ego, but he is also a coward, so I see him agreeing, but trying to get away with as much as he can. The question that remains is, will the UN let him?

I agree with you, he will more than likely accept. Only a fool wouldn't. However he will try and cheat on the deal as much as possible. So we will see.
