The Arab hosts will not tolerate the troops sitting around for months and years. They are antsy to get this over.

If we could receive assurances that those 200,000 troops don't join Saddam in a march across the River Jordan, I'd say let them PROVIDE those troops.

This whole inspection thing has been a ridiculous enterprise. Blix is playing Nero's fiddle, while France is dressed in a toga watching Rome burn. Old Europe is too kind of a description. These guys are nothing but industrial whores for Saddam. When we go in there a lot of French, German, and Russian crap is going to be uncovered.
