The 155mm Arty shell find was confirmed Jacko, as were other chemical rounds, I accept that their continued existance could be described as
A possible, minor, technical breach
actually I prefer "confirmed breach" but this pales into insignificance to the admitted and proven illegal posession of missiles for 11 years with a range in excess of 150km, which was, IMO enough to kick off - too late to destroy and say 'whoops, sorry'- clear breach of UNSCR 687 - game over - no second chance, no being let off the hook.

Anyway sorry to go over old ground, back to the US Lt - Send him mine clearing in Bosnia if he's upset about Iraq!
