Did you see Lehrer on Friday? The Israeli scholar predicted that Sadam would make fools of the UN by negotiating a deal with time limits...upon acceptance of the deal he would stall the inspectors for the time frame of the deal and then the sanctions would be lifted and he comes out the big winner having ultimately defeated the US, collapsing our presence in the mid east and opening the door for renewed hostilities against Israel. Prophetic?

"But sources close to the talks said the stumbling block was Iraq's insistence on a time limit to any U.N. inspections of
eight so-called presidential sites for prohibited weapons."

"Iraq has previously said it supports a Russian proposal under which U.N. weapons teams could inspect the presidential
sites over a 60-day period, provided they are accompanied by diplomats representing Security Council members."

"But British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook held out an olive branch, saying U.N. sanctions against Iraq could be
dismantled soon if Saddam implemented a satisfactory accord."
