All Bush has to do at the UN is remind those wimps that THEY are the ones who laid down the rules that Saddam is breaking and if they don't do something about it the UN is rendered useless. If they are not going to stand behind their words then they might as well close the doors and everyone will go have to just go home.
No more glamourous lives as ambassadors to the UN, no more immunity, no more free lunches, no more limosines, just go home.
It's a pretty easy case to make and I'm sure he's going to make it. The UN wussies will demand that Saddam be given one more chance to comply with weapons inspection. Saddam will give in, allow the inspectors to return but as soon as they even look like they're getting close he'll shut it down. We'll start bombing 5 minutes later.
The thing is the demand must be strong. "You will allow inspectors in by XX-XX-02, they may go where ever they choose unescorted, they may stay until they are convinced there are no weapons. We will arrive at a given date and if we are not permitted to enter the war is on."
I don't think we're going to be hiring weapons inspectors as a prelude. I get the sense that Bush believes the years have come and gone for that. Rumsfeld made the case quite forcefully that our best intelligence on where the WMD's were stored in Iraq came not from weapons inspections, but from family members who defected, who were later slaughtered (God only knows what torture they endured first) by Saddam.
