Inspectors are there to verify iraqi destruction of wmd, not to find them. I believe for the most part saddam has them squirreled away where even the most sophisticated spying techniques wont work without some type of road map. Even after the war is won and saddam is disarmed some of this stuff wont be found for decades.
Its not like the Cuban missile crisis where they sit above ground in large containers. A vial of anthrax is just that, a vial. Some may even be out of the country. I said this before sharon did by the way.
I guess if they are so well squirrelled away, perpetual inspection would indeed work. Think that should be funded by Europe though. What happens in the summer when he kicks them out? Do we expect the US to mobilize every winter for eternity? mike
