Iraq and weapons inspectors

does anyone really think if inspectors were sent in, they'd be sent to all the right places? how the hell do we know where saddam has all his stuff? he could be making his weapons all over his country in the basements of churches. why doesn't saddam hand over some weapons, say that's all he has, and still keep some of them? how would we know he doesn't have anything else? this entire inspectors situation seems ridiculous to me.

The inspectors have to be given free reign to inspect anywhere at any time. As soon as they don't do this they are in material breach of the latest UN resolution.

When you are dealing with deadly toxins or highily radioactive waste, there are only so many places this can be stored without killing off hundreds / thousands of your own people in the surrounding area. If that many people suddenly came down with the same illness how long do you think it would take before that news reached the inspectors?

Recall how many people were affected by the anthrax mailings. Imagine what would happen if a substance such as anthrax wasn't stored in a sealed environment or hundreds were openly exposed to it.

yeah, but in the US, the media is free to print whatever they want. NOT the case in Iraq. I'm sure there's tons of sh!t that our satellites see that never reaches the press.

Apparently not well enough to find a 6'6" guy in a turban, riding a goat in the mountains of Afghanistan.

WW III? uh.....not!!!

You have a unanimous vote in the UN, you have Israel next door that can on its own take out most of its neighbors.

Show me the history of Muslim countries banding together in a conflict against against the NATO powers. Hell they can't even get along with each other, and they cheat on each other via OPEC constantly.

You don't know what the hell are you talking about. Go back to your poly sci class and pay attention to what the teacher says instead of spouting off your typical uninformed nonsensical opinions.

Blah blah blah ... and if I pull the string on the Optional777 doll, he will spew out more bullshit.

Try making an argument to support your opinions.

You think WWIII is coming, give us some reasons why?

Or are you just trying to keep up the 17.44 post a day habit?

I'm sure the inspectors are going to demand to see their own places. Once they get in, it is only a matter of time until they ask to see a place that Iraq doesn't want seen.

They may even bring a UN doctor to ask to look up Saddam's ass to see if he's got some uranium packed away.

Sooner or later, we will go to war with Iraq, the arab nations will become chaotic, oil prices will shoot up and Russia will demand the US pull out because of their fledging economy and oil concerns. Rumsfield will tell Putin to stick it up his ass and the next thing you know, we've got a full fledged conflict on our hands.

Edit: Let's not forget about the suitcase nukes that are missing. It is only a matter of time before it all comes to a boiling point. I give it 2-5 years.
