>Well they can't. Their job description is to verify that Iraq is disarming. And since Iraq isn't disarming there isn't anything to verify. Except a few empty warheads and maybe some missiles that can fly a tad too far. That they are going around doing surprise searches is a huge charade.

>Why is it that people don't understand this? This is one of the huge failures of the current administration IMHO. Now we have a significant part of the American population (and the world) thinking more inspections could somehow bring a peaceful solution even while Saddam refuses to disarm. Completely ignorant and wrong, but there is not a loud counterargument for anyone to hear. Using the word 'inspector' in the first place is a bell that should not have been rung, as it is misleading in this circumstance.

I wouldn't say I have absolute faith in the inspectors, but I think that if there's really anything significant there, they'll turn it up eventually, and even if they don't, they'll more or less paralyze him while they're there.

But, as I say over and over again, I don't really find Saddam that much of a danger to the rest of the world. I'd like him out because he's an oppressive dictator.

If that's not enough to justify taking him out (I feel it is), then forget it. "WMD" are irrelevant to me here.
