There's a flaw in that logic somewhere.
The flaw is in your understanding of what the UN weapons inspectors are doing there. They are not there to look for WMD's, they are there to verify that the Iraqis have destroyed their WMD's.
In theory, the Iraqis should say "we have destroyed 500 C warheads, here is the evidence." Then the weapons inspectors go there and confirm that the Iraqis are telling the truth.
Public opinion seems to think it works the other way around. That the weapons inspectors are in Iraq to find WMDs or find evidence of WMDs. Incidentally Saddam Hussein seems to think that is the way it works too. Therefore he is saying "we have already destroyed everything, now go away", and the UN inspectors are saying "no, we dont believe that, show us the evidence." But the Iraqis are refusing.
Public opinion in the west...for example the tards out demonstrating yesterday seems to believe the Iraqi interpretation too. But that is wrong, and indeed hopeless. How do you go look for something the size of a refridgerator in an entire country? It doesnt work that way, and it was never supposed to work that way.
Stalin said it best:
What luck for rulers that man doesnt think.
Meaning that public opinion is oh so easy to control. Something we saw proof of yesterday.
