After the first war the inspectors did have full access and all 1 - No they never did. They had access with restrictions, or access with delays. Every now and then they had no access, or no access until US forces were moved in. That is not unrestricted access, and its the main reason that we were unable to verify the status of Iraq's WMD. 2 - It is likely that the would not have had the access that they did have if we had pulled out of the region. The access might not have been flatly denied because that would have been a risky provocation, but the delays and the restrictions may have increased. and all, EVERY SINGLE ONE, of the prohibited weapons were destroyed facts not in evidence. That sounds like compliance to me. Even if every single one was destroyed it isn't compliance without unrestricted access to verify this fact. Tim
