Right, but that doesn't mean that the inspectors aren't looking for banned weapons. They are. There just isn't a resolution for it.

Wrong. You missed the point. The resolution is the document that determines what the inspectors' reason for existence is.

The resolution correctly anticipates that you can't send a hundred people into a country to find things its government has hidden and expect to be successful. The resolution called for Iraq to disarm ITSELF. Iraq has refused to do so.

I'm not sure why this concept is difficult for some to understand. It is intuitively obvious that inspectors cannot be counted on to "find" hidden weapons.

Incidentally, I belive EVERY weapons inspector, current and former, would agree with me that they are incapable of "finding" weapons that Saddam has, with determination, hidden.
