UK says Iraq in 'material breach'

ABC Latest News. Posted: Tue, 28 Jan 2003 20:05 AEDT

"Britain's Foreign Secretary Jack Straw says Iraq is in "material breach" of United Nations disarmament demands and that it can no longer play games with UN weapons inspectors."

The Man of Straw confiscated Scrabble, Monopoly and Twister which will be kept locked in his office until Iraq behaves like other civilised nations and shares its weapons of mass destruction on the open arms market. Mr. Straw said, "Saddam is a very, very naughty despot. He's just spoiling it for everyone else. If we knew he was like this we wouldn't have invited him to the party back in 1979".

The UN weapons inspectors have been issued with Rubik's Cubes, Solitaire and copies of "Penthouse" as an interim measure to keep themselves occupied until the Iraqis say they're sorry.
