Of course he won't be cooperative and honest. Why would he be? He will have to put up an appearance, though, and if we probe the right way he might just slip up and we might learn something very important. Inspections provide an excellent opportunity for Intelligence people to have a first-hand look around. Of course the Iraqis won't show them anything voluntarily, but that doesn't mean nothing will be learned.

If he is intransigent, it will provide an opportunity to build international support for an effort that will be very difficult to manage unilaterally. It also provides a reason to delay a war that still lacks one of the most important elements in any military intervention: a clear-cut plan for what we intend to do after the military goals are achieved.

I still see no reason to get all gung-ho about this war idea, especially when nobody seems to have any credible proposal for what we are supposed to do after we get Saddam.
