Un deuxième groupe d'inspecteurs est parti à 16 h 10 (14 h 10 GMT) de l'aéroport de Larnaca à Chypre pour Vienne, par un vol direct, où une autre copie sera remise au siège de l'Agence internationale de l'énergie atomique (AIEA). Le groupe en partance pour New York a quitté Chypre à bord d'un avion de Cyprus Airways à 10 h 45 (08 h 45 GMT).

shannon have in any flights from Iraq?¿?¿?¿?

reuters teh Amercian news on the flights:
Saddam has said sorry!!!!
to Kuwait.
[shitting it isn´t he] oh yes Reuters we believe that one.
APOLOGY TO KUWAIT

At the same time as Iraq's arms dossier was handed over to U.N. inspectors in Baghdad Saturday, Saddam apologized for his country's 1990-1991 occupation of his oil-rich neighbor Kuwait. In his letter, however, he blamed Kuwait's leadership for precipitating the invasion.

Kuwait rejected the apology and accused Saddam of using it as a pretext to incite attacks against U.S. troops currently training in the Gulf Arab state.

now check out the British response:
"Saddam Hussein ... has made a number of disclosures in the past about what he says he has or hasn't got," British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw told BBC Television.

"None of them have been accurate or full disclosures. Normally, they have been a pack of lies."

oh matilda.....
Mr Straw went on to warn the shitting it properly this time Saddam...
The first thing Saddam must do is account for those "thousands of tons of material," he said.

oh dear don´t they know he´s shitting it?

President Bush, who threatened war if Washington judges Baghdad has deceived the world, said on Saturday that the Iraqi declaration would be studied carefully.

OH GOD it´s him.
not a day goes by without his "threatening WAR".

Well Mr Bush, I stood below Punky Churchill and watched indymedia activists walk through an impromptu garden built with haste yet care in front of "the mother of Parliaments" and I thought to myself,
....we´ve got something here.

Isn´t it comforting to know neither Mr Bush nor Mr Hassein probably wouldn´t have a notion what it was we realised we had.

And we still have it.

With British and French help, and a US navy within helicopter shuttle distance but still off the visible horizon - EU citizens (and a few hangers-on) are going to Cyprus from Lebanon.

The image attached shows you the acession celebratory stamp issued by the regime of Bertie Ahern and Co. to welcome all those extra states into our Union. States like Cyprus. But the Irish postage people didn't put Cyprus in, they just moved Crete into the position Cyprus normally is.

Lebanon hasn't moved since Irish peace keepers were last deployed there. Like Cyprus & Ireland, the land of the Cedar tree is pretty much where it used to be. But Irish people have more fun stuff to take their minds off it.

The EU people in their orderly and patient queue out of Lebanon are not all going to find jobs, homes or even a decent night out in Cyprus. That wasn't planned for. But they will feel they are walking in historic footsteps as Lakuna saw the last internationally reputable and independent and tippy toppy qualified weapons inspectors pf the International IAEI atomic division touched down at 16 h10 local time : 14 h 10 GMT on route to Vienna from Iraq on the 8th of December 2003. They didn't say Iraq or anyone else in teh Middle East had or were building nuclear weapons. No-one wanted to hear that which is why they were all asked to write letters of resignation, and we never heard from them again.

Or they could be lefties and merely think the CIA ahs been accused of rendition through that very airport - & we never heard from them again either.

Nothing to do with Cyprus though.
Nor Lebanon.
This comment is just meant to use contemporary Irish Design & Foreign Policy Culture to drive home a point. All the Irish were not "got out" of Lebanon. Will they skip the queue too?

The 25 state accession stamp of Bertie's EU presidency - swapped Crete for Cyprus & left the balkans and Lebanon out.
