>>They want Saddamism without Saddam. He is no longer their man. That is why they call for "regime change".<<

I understand this. This was GHWBush's gamble. It failed. It's also why the Prez is careful not to say a democratic Iraq. 'Regime change' permits another strongman govt.

>>According to former weapons inspector Scott Ritter: "There is no way the Iraqis are going to let in the inspectors now . . . why would they let in the inspectors to spy on them, target them more effectively and then be used to manipulate justification for war?"<<

Because the other option is another bloody defeat that could imprison or kill the Hussein family.
