Initially, there were few inspectors but I think now the number is somewhere between 50-100. In addition, while Iraq may be as CA, its mostly desert so there aren't a lot of places to hide WMD. These are now moot points. We ARE going to war, soon -- unless Saddam is exiled or otherwise acquiesces, and that does seem awfully unlikely. Bush made another fine speech tonight and I have a feeling support for ousting Saddam will grow over the next week or ten days.

Ted Re...But here's where I am annoyed.....Bush, Rumsfield, Cheny and C. Rice all intimated at one point or another that they had proof there is a smoking gun and it was only a matter of time before it was found. I don't think a lot of people realize, that we know, and the UN weapons inspectors know, that Saddam manufactured a a certain defineable amount of weapons. That is where the confusion is. People are trying to say, if we haven't found anything, therefore,we have no proof that Saddam has these weapons. True, but there is proof that Saddam did have them at one time, so the question is, where are they now. It would be like a bank robber denying in court that he didn't rob the bank, because the police didn't recover the money, even though there is incontrovertable proof from the cameras, he did the robbery. We know he has the weapons, we just haven't found them yet. Probably because they are buried somewhere, and we probably won't find them until we do a lot of serious digging.
