Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said yesterday that Iran, Libya and Syria should be stripped of weapons of mass destruction after Iraq. "These are irresponsible states, which must be disarmed of weapons mass destruction, and a successful American move in Iraq as a model will make that easier to achieve," Sharon said to a visiting delegation of American congressmen.

Sharon told the congressmen that Israel was not involved in the war with Iraq "but the American action is of vital importance."

In a meeting with U.S. Undersecretary of State John Bolton yesterday, Sharon said that Israel was concerned about the security threat posed by Iran, and stressed that it was important to deal with Iran even while American attention was focused on Iraq.

Bolton said in meetings with Israeli officials that he had no doubt America would attack Iraq, and that it would be necessary thereafter to deal with threats from Syria, Iran and North Korea.

3. No, what NNN0LHI is doing is giving a very useful and much-needed...

...history lesson. Many here do not follow I/P or Israeli politicians very closely and are unaware of some very important statements/actions from the past which shed much more light and understanding on the conflagration we deal with, today.

2. Yeah, Ariel, why do the dirty work when you've got Chimpy?

Israel's hegemony is secure if only the USA would fight three or four wars for them!

5. This was before the war started.

At least I think it is. 18/2/2003 is really February 2003 correct? We didn't invade until March.

So really Sharon could be referring to forcing in weapons inspectors and taking away any banned weapons.
