Reread what you wrote and maybe you might see why you look to be talking from both sides of your mouth.

I read it when I wrote it and I just went back when I replied to your post. If it wasn't for Bush's moves there would be no inspectors in Iraq. That isn't talking out of both sides of my mouth.

Fact? How do you know at what point Saddam would have let the inspectors back in? Bush did so many things all within a short period of time, its hard to discern what was the deciding factor. One of them was moving 200k soldiers to the Gulf. Maybe that was necessary; maybe it wasn't.

I actually suspect 200k soldiers in the Guld were not needed to get the inspectors back in. But moving some there and making the threats that Bush made were almost definitly needed.

And it seems that 200k soldiers in the region but outside of Iraq are not enough to get full complience.
