"Actually, I think we are now moving toward a tougher, better-defined sort of inspection that just might work, after all" It's unbelievable that everybody agreed to 1441 and the only deliverable was a report! We are now identifying the major milestones and mandatories. I have worked on projects that unfolded like this in the past. The Manager became a Project Manager next time and everybody continually asked for a definition of success. Remember after several attempts George W. Bush defined success as Disarmament. THis is what is haunting him. He thought he was getting permission for a invasion and war. All he really got was permission to pursue disarmament with tactics and sppecifics to be identified later. (WHich is now.) Once again, the learning curve got them! Rascal@ Ialwaysmetdeliverables.com

Actually, I think we are now moving toward a tougher, better-defined sort of inspection that just might work, after all. Ah yes, the dance of 1001 last chances. Look, 'complying' means explaining where the thousands of unused missiles went, where the tons of CW he had in 1998 went, what the tons of precurser chemicals he has ordered since then have been used for, giving up the biological weapons labs, etc. Saddam is not complying now, with 200,000 troops on his border. Saddam is offering fake process-compliance instead, along with incredible lies - "we have nothing" "all the old stuff was destroyed with no record and no witnesses". If you belive that Saddam will suddenly engage in real compliance when the troops go home, in terror at a 'beefed up' UN inspection force, perhaps I could interest you in buying a bridge in Brooklyn?
