Iraq Inspectors to Start Slowly Access to Sensitive Sites Won't Be Tested Early, Officials Say washingtonpost.com BAGHDAD, Iraq, Nov. 22 -- International experts plan to recommence the search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq with low-key and nonconfrontational trips to sites visited by earlier groups of inspectors, U.N. officials said today. The plans suggested the new inspectors will not seek to immediately test whether the Iraqi government will provide them unfettered access to President Saddam Hussein's palaces and other sensitive locations as required by a Security Council resolution passed unanimously Nov. 8. As described today, the strategy seemed to be at odds with the Bush administration's desire for the chief U.N. weapons inspector, Hans Blix, to quickly order the most intrusive inspections possible, pushing arms experts to probe palaces and other sites off-limits to their predecessors as a way of assessing Hussein's willingness to abide by the new resolution.

The catalyst would be non-compliance. He will then hope that Mr. Blix, backed by Secretary-General Kofi Annan, will call this progress and make it difficult for Mr. Bush to declare it a "material breach" of the U.N. resolution. The December count must tally with what we know covertly. Saddam doesn't know what we know covertly. Iraq ceases to be a belligerent state if Saddam can be killed or preferably, captured. He can also acquiesce which would be in Iraq's interest and his own. Saddam likes to be unanticipated. He would become great and it would be unanticipated if he acquiesced. He could then spearhead the attempt to round up Al Qaeda in the ME. That would serve the interests of his Arab neighbors including perhaps the contrary ones of his contrary neighbor, Saudi Arabia. Now wouldn't that be radical or is Saddam too small for such largeness?
