No, I see the UN inspectors' job to be ongoing til Saddam dies.

I don't think anyone at the UN would agree with this proposal.

These materials, chemicals and components cost money.....where do you think he's getting the money to make the necessary purchases?

Same way he funded his new mansions in the 90's?

Besides, it doesn't cost that much to maintain something you already have (VX, Anthrax, etc., that the UN says he has but has not shown evidence of its destruction).

Do you understand the difference between a local would be mafia type and an international arms racketeer? Well, Saddam is the former; OBL the latter.

And they would never deal with each other? How do you know they wouldn't? Seems to me that they would deal in a heartbeat if they both thought it in their interest (on either side of your analogy).

Iraq's biggest concern would be leaving any 'fingerprints' that point to them. Then again, we might think it is them no matter what WMD is used, so maybe they have nothing to lose?

Just speculation of course.

I guess I am having a hard time following your reasoning. You apparently don't agree that Saddam has the 1000 tons of WMD that the UN says he has, but you do agree he is hiding them. You don't think he would deal with al Qaeda. And that about sums up your argument.

He probably doesn't have much WMD but even if he does he surely wouldn't deal with al Qaeda.

Pretty flimsy. Especially if wrong...

Have a great weekend everyone.
