Yeah, but this time we ought to tell him (as the inspection team disembarks at Bagdad) that he was right. The entire inspection team- all 150 of them- are US CIA. Then smile, just so. When you think about it, this was a no-brainer. Eight Arab hardliners tell Sadam Insaine to back down, Russia hardly blinks... He didn't have options. Now both sides will talk crap for another week. I believe Sadam Insaine will do everything in his power to get maximam US troops into the desert for xmas. More attention.

This could turn out to be a far more serious question than simply dealing with Sadam. The credibility of both the U.S. and the U.N. are at stake. This sort of 'yank their string' foreign policy by Iraq (given credence by the U.N.) cannot continue indefinitely. If the U.N. is to serve any useful purpose in the future it cannot be seen to coddling up to dictators and the U.S. cannot be seen to be handcuffed by such obvious ineffectiveness. Sadam may or may not have won again - but will it cost the world the U.N.?
