U.S. to Seek Tests to Show That Iraq Resists Disarming nytimes.com

Another article in that vein. Tucked in at the end, though, is this little bit that makes me dubious of all the current breast-beating.

Administration officials hope that Mr. Blix and Dr. ElBaradei will be more emphatic about Iraqi noncompliance in their next presentation to the Security Council, in about two weeks.

Military officials said that they did not expect to be ready to attack Iraq until mid-March in any case, and that an attack would be acceptable in late March or early April, even with the onset of warm weather that some fear could hamper combat.


Well, whatever. Who knows, but the prognosis for the first casualty hasn't shown any signs of the Lazarus syndrome lately.
