I agree, for Mr. Bush disarmament is unsatisfactory, booting Saddam out is the only acceptible program. Anything less and he knows he will be perceived as not having finished the job (again) and that is totally unacceptible. The danger is that he may have to obviously manipulate the situation if Saddam is too accomodating on inspections. That ought to have the sec. council up in arms and away we go again. In all fairness to the Pres., Saddam being left in power if he totally complies leaves Saddam the option of persuing his death dreams another day in the future.
Bottom line: Saddam is gone.

I just watched Powell on "Face the Nation." He made it crystal clear that if Saddam "Breaches" at any point, and it then comes back to the UN for "Discussion", we are free at that point to go ahead and "Warm up the Tanks."

I think Saddam will say, "OK, send in the Inspectors," with the idea that he can "Rope a dope" us. But the point that will break this thing open is 30 days out from last Friday, when he has to give us a list of all "WMD's" that he has. He will not do this, and if he holds back and we know of some that he does not list, he will be "Breached" then, without the inspectors even going in.
