We know, and now he knows we know. The question is, what is he going to do about it?
Three giant cargo ships are being tracked by US and British intelligence on suspicion that they might be carrying Iraqi weapons of mass destruction.Each with a deadweight of 35,000 to 40,000 tonnes, the ships have been sailing around the world's oceans for the past three months while maintaining radio silence in clear violation of international maritime law, say authoritative shipping industry sources.
The vessels left port in late November, just a few days after UN weapons inspectors led by Hans Blix began their search for the alleged Iraqi arsenal on their return to the country.
Sailing in circles for three months, never pulling in to port, heavily laden with cargo that's never off loaded, maintaining radio silence in violation of law.
Nope, nothing to see here folks.
The question is, "Why has this been leaked now?" Is it to let SoDamn Insane know that we know where his toys are, and that he will not get the chance to use them? Is it to ratchet up the pressure on him another notch, eliminating one more option? Is it to show him that we're two steps ahead of him all the time, and his only recourse is capitulation?
Could be!
