>> Why didn't they just say enough is enough we don't think Saddam is a threat anymore? Because the US has repeatedly stated that it will not agree to lifting sanctions regardless of whether weapons are eliminated or not. The purpose of res 1441 was to prohibit the US from claiming that it has UN authorization to attack Iraq. The US agreed to that because it was sure it could present convincing evidence to get a second specific resolution authorizing attack. The "second resolution" would rely on the results of inspections to look into US claims about "overwhelming" weapons evidence. So a mechanism was put into place, specified to the minutest detail by the US, where claims by the US and UK regarding weapons could be proved true or false. This would be done by repeated, aggressive and intrusive inspection, with the active support of US and UK spy agencies. You could see for yourself whether or not this evidence convinced anyone. So far Bulgaria is firmly on board.
