My mistake, you're absolutely right. It was actually 1997 when Saddam started denying them access to inspection sites and expelled all the US inspectors
But the article you quote doesn't mention any expulsion, it just says some of the US inspectors were CIA agents:
In December 1998, Unscom pulled out of Iraq amid complaints of obstruction by Iraq. Meanwhile, Baghdad claimed that the body was little more than a front for US spies (with some justification; the presence of CIA agents was later confirmed by the US, UN and former inspectors).
In fact on 13 November 1997 Iraq did did demand that US citizens working for UNSCOM leave. After condemnation by the security council on 21 November 1997 UNSCOM resumed work . So they "expelled the US inspectors" for a week.
They did, as everyone knows, harass the inspectors and attempt to hide things. But why does the "expelled the inspectors" myth continue to circulate?
Meanwhile, in a year and a half, I have discover a fair amount of disturbing information on Obama. Some of it via first person research. Material the media would usually take 6 months to release if they ever mentioned it at all.
Uh, no it doesn't? It may also have perverse effects, but not the same ones.
In fact, if you criminalize being a john, prostitutes will have more reason to avoid the police, because they need to attract johns to make money.
How do they make money in prison?
Prostitutes are usually more valuable as informers for other crimes, such as drug trafficking or gang activity.
So your cool with the idea of forcing people to risk their lives by threatening them with jail? Like I said, criminalize the johns. They probably know more about crime than the pro's.
Prostitution is LEGAL (with some restrictions that aren't that bad) in Canada, most all of Europe including England, France, Wales, Denmark, etc.
Let's put England and Wales as two countries, even though they have the same law.
Let's claim the legal harassment of prostitutes and clients is "not all that bad". (UK curb crawling laws, French "raccolage passif", (i.e. it's a crime to dress sexy in a public place), UK and French laws against brothels (i.e. it's a crime to own or run an establishment where more than one prostitute works)...)
The important European country "etc" is a nice touch.
I'm not sure that is an impartial assessment, given the web address.
Assessment? What assessment?
You think a that a guy who wrote a book called "Dow 36000: The New Strategy for Profiting from the Coming Rise in the Stock Market", published in 1999 is some kind of economic genius?
Or you think he didn't write the book? Maybe it was some other guy using his name in vain?
Or maybe the problem was that too many people did. After all, one of the major deciding issues in both 2000 and 2004 was "Who would you rather have a beer with?" You can't get much more values-oriented than that.
And the American people answered "I'd rather have a beer with the teetotal ex-alcoholic". How fucking stupid can you get?
The companies are the rightful and legal owners of the block A addresses - they bought and paid for them.
Wrong! They paid nothing, and they don't own them either(*), that's why they can't sell 'em. This is the big problem preventing the obvious "economic" solutions to the IPV4 address space problem.
((*) if anyone does own IPV4 addresses it's the RIR's and the IANA).
If you were writing the OS for a beastie like that you'd at least stick a few "factory" commands in there to help unravel things when the customer stuffed it right up.
Would I? I don't think so. Certainly nothing that didn't need physical access to the machine. If the customer "stuffs it up" he can hit the reset button.
As for external link security - of course there is none. That's why you use encryption, right?

Oh you naughty little tease.
There, fixed that for ya.
Uh, RTFA - you are under constant attack from Eastern European criminal organizations.
You haven't met my daddy.
I'm commenting on the implication in your sig that this is what daddies do.
Is that what your daddy does for you? Mine never robbed the neighbors.
Uh, no it doesn't? It may also have perverse effects, but not the same ones.

Prostitution may be legal in "most" of Europe, but everywhere prostitutes are being thrown in jail. Some legality.
Maybe it's 'cos I'm a CS type of guy, but I can't write "semantics" off as easily as some people.
Wow, what a reliable source:

So, the victims are the prostitutes. A defensible position. Who are the criminals? Who goes to jail?
Legalize prostitution. Criminalize the clients.
Uh, maybe try again not using the LiveCD this time?

Wrong.
Blaming the CRA for the current mess is yesterdays lie.

Ok, I already like you 'cos of your name, but now you get a little green blob.
He got no more of the black vote than Clinton.
"Minority Racism"? Something that only real racists worry about.
You might have had a point:
If that had been true. In fact it was the UN that ordered the inspectors to leave. A bit much to blame the UN for not reacting to UN actions.
Yes.
A word doesn't mean a 16 bit thingy. It's the natural length of the integer or address in a particular computer.
I've used machines with wordsizes of 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 60 and 64 bits.

Or you think that he isn't an advisor to McCain? Check it: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/26/business/26supply.html?_r=2&oref=slogin&oref=slogin - or maybe you think that the NYT is "liberal media" and can be ignored.
Why does everyone seem to moderate my initial comment "funny"? Maybe you're all banking on an Obama win?
So, they voted for the lying addict. Also smart. Have you ever drunk a beer with an alcoholic - not nearly as much fun as you might imagine.
And the American people answered "I'd rather have a beer with the teetotal ex-alcoholic". How fucking stupid can you get?
Well, in the case of McCain it seems to be (among others) Kevin Hassett, author of "Dow 36000: The New Strategy for Profiting from the Coming Rise in the Stock Market", published in 1999. http://econ4obama.blogspot.com/2008/06/other-list-mccains-economists.html

You've managed to mischaracterize the positions of both the left and right wings. What does that make you?
Anyone who thinks the US Democratic party is "left" doesn't know what left is.
