US embassy cable - 04DUBLIN1517

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

1. (C) On October 7, Post delivered reftel talking points to 
Paul Gunning, Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) Deputy 
Regional Director for the Gulf and North America, after 
having discussed the ISG Report over the phone with him on 
October 6.  Gunning said that the report reinforced the GOI's 
long-standing position that more information was required to 
determine the nature and extent of Iraq's WMD programs.  He 
noted that, before the war, the GOI had wanted to give 
inspectors more time to provide answers to unanswered 
questions left over from the incomplete UN weapons 
inspections of the 1990s.  Gunning related the GOI's hope 
that the ISG Report would shed more light on these questions.
