The point of a stringent inspection regime is that we inspect whatever we think necessary, including the schools, mosques and hospitals. If it's a WMD place, we tell everybody to get out and destroy it. And the point has been made that inspection, even if it didn't destroy every cache, would seriously disrupt the process of acquiring and fabricating WMD, making it an entirely fugitive operation. And the stringent inspection regime is well adapted to the detection of delivery vehicles.

Nothing is without risk. Some think the above scenario would represent a lesser risk to us and our allies. The CIA has its own view of the risks involved in the Bush scenario, a primary aspect of that view being the assumption that a head-on assault with regime change as its goal is likely to induce frantic and catastrophic use of whatever WMD Saddam has.
