<They can put the plant under permanent, verifiable inspection, or they can lose it.>

Well, that's very flexible of you. When did you decide that it was possible to have "permanent, verifiable" inspections? How do you know they haven't duplicated the facilities elsewhere, or buried it so it's unreachable? Does this apply to North Korea also? And, if so, why didn't it apply to Iraq? I'm hunting for consistency in your position.

Looks like we can't even find Iraqi WMD even with 100,000 inspectors on the ground, as those tricky Arabs hid them very very very very very deep. Or got rid of them (and all the evidence) while being overrun by U.S. tanks. So how can you be sure that a few stand-off weapons can reliably find them?

No, your post didn't say, "this message is ignored." I told him a while ago I was putting him on Ignore.

Seems like a very logical reason not to do it and leave it to them.
