Allies to Search ships for WMD
What a great way to start a war

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/3082548.stm

"The 11 countries have agreed to board ships, force planes to land and inspect cargoes if they suspect that chemical, nuclear or biological weapons are being transported. "

1. Suspect?!
Do they mean along the same lines as how we suspected Iraq had those WMD? Or are they planning to stop everyone and hope they get lucky?

3. This is closing the Horse after the Barn Door left
Wouldn't you want to seal off the borders BEFORE you bomb the crap out of them, and drive away the people who are in control of them. IF there were any weapons, they are long gone.

Perhaps if they paid more attention to the threat (ha) of WMD, than the oil fields, our boys would be home now.

Cheers
