turn the no-fly zones into no-cross zones and flood the remainder of iraq with inspectors + armed escorts. let the blue-hats occupy the place for six months and literally turn over every rock there is.

That's simply an occupation without a war. Nice plan but for one thing. Saddam ain't gonna go for it. The only reason he has made ANY movement at all toward cooperating with the UN is because the US has 5 aircraft carriers parked off his coast and several divisions warming up a few hundred yards from his border.

And the simple fact is we don't have either the military man-power or the money to keep that level of force concentration on the scene indefinitely.

Problem there is that the "blue hats" of the UN run around UNARMED for fear of appearing confrontational.
