I agree, I don't think anything as bad as war will happen (I hope not anyway) with the UN inspectors let back in.

Yup, CIA operatives (and special forces too) are out there probably listening to Saddam take a dump right now...

but he prolly knows that too...

I dunno, there's just a lot of things about Iraq and Saddam in particular that makes me think that anything other than some type of mind reading device that can relay everything he thinks back to the Intel guys is insufficient.

There's a lotta places the inspectors couldn't go into before... why? And now he's gonna let 'em waltz thru with red carpet treatment..... I just think it's smoke 'n mirrors.

But, like you said, anything is better than war... I just hope that's not the temporary train of thought.. (ie: the toejam hits the fan later on down the road... some big toejam)

Fer Pete's SAKE! This is a POSITIVE development. Nobody is getting shot at, at least for the near term future.

And IF the inspectors go back, get FREE access and FIND NOTHING than wouldn't it be logical to start loosening up the sanctions? Good thing there, eh? Iraq rejoining the community of nations?

And if they go back and get the runaround, there's always time then to mount an offensive as someone pointed out above.

And if they go back and FIND WMD... then it's best to know and solve the situation as early as possible, isn't it?

Those of you trying to read the Saudi intentions.. good luck. They're doing what they feel is in their best national interest. Maybe seeing the US Military pull out and head to Qatar didn't give them the "warm fuzzies". Maybe the US cut a deal to support Saudi initiatives on Israel. Lots goes on behind the scenes ane we're not going to "read all about it" any time soon. Probably in our lifetimes.

For now, it's time to smile and hope for a better future.

Absolutely!

We'll see, but past trends make it seem doubtful. Still, we tried to avoid military action and use a peaceful solution. Hopefully it works. If not, well, the military is still there.

I'd just rather not put our boys and girls in harms way unless truly required. It is not something to be done lightly.

As long as they aren't chicken toejams.......like yourself as example, I'm sure they will do their job to the best of their ability in accordance with any restrictions saddam places on them.

Does that answer your question lily liver?

Your a real anachronism, you talk like a hawk but are too much of a coward to back it up.

I fart in your general direction.

So I guess it depends on Saddam keeping his word.

Anybody taking bets on that?

"Your a real anachronism, you talk like a hawk but are too much of a coward to back it up."

True, but I'm too busy running the family oil business and getting communist lectures in Moscow. However I'd be happy to stop by Iraq to write some newspaper articles and have my picture taken with an M16.

He will do what he can to keep an ttack happening over the winter.

What will it take, a month or two months to get inspectors set up and going? A month or so of Saddam to give umm a run around, the another few weeks to get the un/world back on board. Then the liberals will wail about giving "peace a chance" and give negotiations a chance and all this hippy love toejam.

My bet we will visit this again next fall.

We wont invade in the Summer, its to hot and the foot soldiers in chemical suits will have a tough time.

The best thing to do would be to send a "force" along with the inspectors. This force would go ahead of the inspectors and seal it off a site so the Iraqis dont play musical chairs with whatever evidence there maybe. This would mean the inspector dont inform the Iraqis of where then intend to look they just show up and say open the door now.

Some of them Castle/compounds of saddams are huge. There needs to be enough inspectors to swarm the place to stop any moving between rooms of things as well as to prevent the destruction of documents.

Then if the Iraqis balk slap the toejam out of umm.

In case anyone is interested, the FAS has brought together some of the UN Documents pertaining to the previous inspection regime (UNSCOM). http://www.fas.org/news/un/iraq/s/index.html There is some pretty good information there, and there are facts to support both sides of the current "are inspections worth a toejam" argument. Not that facts or support are needed around here

the diff is we have Bush admin powered/backed inspectors in there now, or will have, maybe - not Clinton paper tiger inspectors

Wonder how big their Marines/Rangers escort will be ...

The past few months have been a stalling tactic by Iraq IMHO. They needed time to hide all of the evidence and move the production into civilian housing areas to keep it away from those nosey prying UN inspectors.

It won't surprise me one bit to find out that the inspectors don't find anything when they get there.

Sorry..just don't trust Sadaam.

I'm surprised the Iraqi regime hasn't insisted on a guarantee of non-agression after letting inspectors in.

To be honest, I think the US administration wants a war regardless of what Iraq does. And they'll get it.

Personally, I believe it should be based on the actions of the Iraqis viz the UN inspectors. If they are given full, unobstructed access then what is the point of shedding blood?

Bush will find a reason to attack anyway because it is good for the polls and will distract from his horrible domestic performance.

How's that?
