Actually, I think we are now moving toward a tougher, better-defined sort of inspection that just might work, after all.
Ah yes, the dance of 1001 last chances. Look, 'complying' means explaining where the thousands of unused missiles went, where the tons of CW he had in 1998 went, what the tons of precurser chemicals he has ordered since then have been used for, giving up the biological weapons labs, etc. Saddam is not complying now, with 200,000 troops on his border. Saddam is offering fake process-compliance instead, along with incredible lies - "we have nothing" "all the old stuff was destroyed with no record and no witnesses". If you belive that Saddam will suddenly engage in real compliance when the troops go home, in terror at a 'beefed up' UN inspection force, perhaps I could interest you in buying a bridge in Brooklyn? |
