Derek is right, I was saying the French solution is the one we'll probably settle on. I don't think Russia or France will sign on for allowing the US to decide all on its own whether Saddam has been cooperative.

Bush has made it clear that if the Security Council doesn't force Saddam to allow the inspectors free and unfettered access from the very beginning, he's just going to go in anyway. That's my reading, anyway. The buildup you call "wagging the dog" costs too much money and political capital to be a game.

The French have proposed the two part solution from the beginning. The Russians won't like it but they'll go along with it.

Bonus question - what will Saddam do?
