It says they spent a whole hour and a half there...

I think the UN is a sham. All the sabre rattling by W and Blair in the last few days increased the heat, so they did this 'inspection' where they got to show the world how nice and cooperative Iraq is being by letting them in a palace for a whole hour and a half.

I think that is barely enough time to take in the landscaping on a place that big.

If they argued and shouted for 10 minutes before they were admitted to the palace, doesn't that constitute an act of delay on the part of the Iraqis? When's the bombing start?
