Russia wants to strengthen the inspection team. Give him 5,000 inspectors and no US troops and it's the last decade all over again.
These appeasers make me sick but then even they don't believe what they say. They simply desire Iraq to be armed and a wild card in the Middle East.
Saddam can hide things so effectively that neither inspectors nor the U.S. can find them. Therefore, the only thing we can go on is the honesty of Iraqi declarations and active cooperation. Once Iraq lies, as it has done repeatedly even since the passage of 1441, we can no longer rely on their declarations and active cooperation. Since we cannot rely on those, inspections cannot work.
It's blindingly obvious.
