Bush is being criticized severely here within the US, for failing at a diplomatic effort.

I do believe there has been ~10-12 years of diplomatic attempts. This isn't a new issue, just because Bush is a new Preident doesn't mean he should discount all the attempts in the past. He should pick up where Clinton left off. And no this isn't even an attack on Clinton, he did his "best" to try to curb the situation. Now its time to take action. And Chirac has his own motives for being against the war. France has a lot to loose either way it goes. They have 1.2 Billion in oil assests inside Iraq already that they could risk loosing or being destroyed by Saddam on his way out. But being a little girl about it and not stepping up to the plate isn't the way to solve problems.

The US begged the Israelies not to attack the Arabs, as the Arabs region would use it as an excuse for a full scale invasion. Other than religious nonsense, there is no reason or excuse to blame nor include anything on the Jewish people.

It wouldn't be the first time everyone has tried to gang on Israel, they know how to handle the Arabs on their own.
I was watching an interview of some former UN inspectors that were on the first team. They stated in the interview that they had plenty to believe that the French where helping the Iraqis. Because their suprise inspections where never really a suprise. And when they did a suprise inspection without including the French members of the team or notifing base command it worked very sucessfull.
And I would also like to know why the CNN Liberal media omitted 800 lines from the Blix report they had on TV the other day. They only included the happy thoughts from Blix and failed to mention the active Iraqi research found for treating uranium for weapons with lasers. Sounds fishy to me. But hey Saddam is a nice guy, we should keep him there until there is a mushroom cloud over Israel or New York right?
