So. The containment policy "failed", but Saddam is now weaker than most people believe because of it. Once again, the Dark Prince and friends get to have it both ways The first passage referred to the failure of sanctions and inspections to keep Saddam from keeping and rebuilding his chemical and nuclear weapons programs. The second passage referred to Saddam's current conventional capacity. There is no contradiction. The whole hawk argument has always been, face Saddam now when he's weak, or give him five years of no sanctions and face him when he's got nuclear weapons. Your choice.
