Sounds like the Jedi Meter Maid trick: "This isn't the car you're looking for. There are plenty of quarters in that meter. My pockets are empty. Therefore, all the quarters that were in this pocket are now in the meter. If the quarters weren't in the meter, they'd be in this pocket. That's where I keep them. I don't have any unpaid parking tickets. I can move along now."

>>They did such an outstanding job disarming Iraq that they couldn't account for it, instead leaving such documentation up to the Iraqis to produce a woefully inadequate report. Is that how it works? Paperwork moving too fast?

Apparently, a "truly outstanding job of disarming Iraq" means that if the Iraqis produce 12,000 pages of inadequate documentation that doesn't even aussage the hapless Blixster's doubts, then the UN did a truly outstanding of disarming Iraq, because Iraq told the UN they did.
