The funny thing is that Ritter charged that the UN Security Council undermined UNSCOMM by not taking measures when Iraq blocked inspections in 97 and 98. He was also critical of operation Desert Fox which was the US attempt to bomb Iraq back to sanctioning inspections. You can't really run inspections when you have members from various countries friendly with Iraq, such as the Russians who essentially trained Saddam in the Stalinist techniques. Remember there was the news in the media that the Iraqis were getting tipped off on the inspections.
