War This Week?

London's wonderful little tabloid The Sun is reporting that a war against Iraq is scheduled to start as early as next week. They are also reporting that Russia and China have given signs of at least abstaining from a vote, which is pushing the US towards putting a resolution to a vote in the Security Council on Wednesday.

Most of what the article contains is the same old stuff. America is ready, France is opposed, this is putting a stress on the Spaghetti-Os (Franco-American) relationship, etc. But it does put out one interesting little blurb that I haven't seen elsewhere. Apparently we are pressuring some of the more corrupt Security Council members with the fact that we know their "secret" Swiss Bank account numbers.

I guess the French, sorry the Europeans, are complaining about our espionage activites so much because they can't figure out the bank account numbers themselves. Or maybe they're just afraid of losing all influence and credibility. Either way, the weasels are showing just how scared they are of making a decision.
