Saddam didn't let in the inspectors. In fact, Saddam DID NOT let in the inspectors. Then how do you explain this? UN inspectors arrive in Iraq news.bbc.co.uk And how do you explain this? <<< U.N. sources have told CBS News that American tips have lead to one dead end after another. Example: satellite photographs purporting to show new research buildings at Iraqi nuclear sites. When the U.N. went into the new buildings they found "nothing." Example: Saddam's presidential palaces, where the inspectors went with specific coordinates supplied by the U.S. on where to look for incriminating evidence. Again, they found "nothing." Example: Interviews with scientists about the aluminum tubes the U.S. says Iraq has imported for enriching uranium, but which the Iraqis say are for making rockets. Given the size and specification of the tubes, the U.N. calls the "Iraqi alibi air tight." >>> cbsnews.com If the inspectors were not let into Iraq, how were they chasing down leads given to them by the U.S.? Furthermore, why was the U.S. sending the inspectors on "wild-goose chases"? Should the U.S. be punished for such noncomplaiance with the UN inspections program? Tom
