Basically that he was in a way relieved, and hopefully the troops would finally get access to the places where his guys were refused access to.

Okay. Am I wrong in my understanding of what a scud missile is?

SCUD is a type of missile of which there are several variations. Here's a basic overview: http://www.msnbc.com/news/871435.asp

Yes. I understand what the reslution says. But what is serious consequences? It can be anything. It was vague for a reason. If the resolution has said or face war or an invasion or military action do you think it would have passed? I think not.

I don't think I understand your milquetoasts statement so I cannot comment on that.

Are you suggesting that the UN Security Council is made up of a bunch of milquetoast's?

The use of force was NOT what France, Russia, etc, were complaining about. Didn't they all want to see more time given to diplomacy (and the inspectors) first?

Everyone MINUS one...

I think it should have been patently obvious that in the circumstances, 'serious consequences' was what is happening now.

I don't think its an acronym. Of course we could have a fun contest to make one up.

I saw it on Fox News while on vacation. He didn't seem to upset at all at what was going down.

KRamsauer is correct, SCUD is not an acronym. It's a NATO reporting name.

so saying that, onward to:

SCUD - Supremely Capricious (but) Undeniably Dangerous
