You don't really believe Iraq is trying to comply, do you?
Well, let me see Kieran...
Iraq lets inspecters into country and gives them unbridled access over the entire country, including presidential palaces. Despite no evidence surfacing at this present moment in time, US begins to amass 150,000 strong army on Iraq's border, Britain makes arangements to send 30,000 troops and sends 16 warships including two carriers in the mean time.
North Korea kicks inspectors out and threatens war. West quickly offers food in return for disarmanent.
Yup, no inconsistency there.
