[SHKMAN1212]

They'll agree to allow inspectors in...

As long as no Americans are part of the team.

[Republic]

PREDICTION: They will allow inspectors in -- but to stall. We'll get bogged down in delays.

dread78645: "Nope. Bill Clinton ain't in charge any more."

Hehe. NUFF SAID!

[Dog Gone]

We're at least all in agreement that it's a stalling tactic. There's some question as to whether it will work.

Bush has already said that he is committed to regime change. Not "regime change if inspectors aren't allowed in."

He means it. This won't slow down our preparations in the slightest. If anything, it will permit us to place spies in Baghdad.

Inspectors would be to our advantage.

[BOBTHENAILER]

Iraq would be on the point of making a "significant advertisement" with UNO in the next hours,

Saddam will allow tommy daschle and John Kerry to inspect whatever they want to for a period of 83 minutes. They will then be required declare him "weapons free".

...or a suitcase nuke in New York. Mr. President, just kill the bastard.

[The Great Satan]

Like I said, this is a game of Chicken, the outcome still unknown.

[Mr. Mojo]

Saddam will use the UN to stall until he has a nuclear missile targeted at Jerusalem.

Tel-Aviv, actually. Jerusalem is very Islamic these days.

[BulletBrasDotNet]

The international community multiplied these last days...

Huh? Must have been a Viagra outbreak nine months ago.(/sarcasm) Who writes this stuff? Their grammar is horrible.

[MassExodus]

Say we DO go in and determine that there are no WOMM ( Weapons of Mass MURDER ),

so what ?

The regime is STILL going to help finance and train Al Quaida militants to fight exactly the kind of devastating campaign that they have thus far.

No, Saddam needs to die, just for starters.

Iraq to make a "significant announcement" to UN on weapons inspectors within a few hours

"Scott Ritter is a tool. That is all."

[Robert_Paulson2]

My suspicion is that Iraq probably will announce a yom kippur 'preemptive' strike against Israel... or some other act of terror.

Sadaam is going to SAY I will allow it but with provisions.
Bush and SOME allies will say NO...

UN will decide to deliberate... AGAIN.
The usa will act, unilaterally if necessary and without congressional approval

IF we do poorly, daschle will say "I told you so..."
If we do well, daschle will say, "we already gave the president authorization to do whatever was necessary..." and take credit for that authorization.

[Mr. Mojo]

Saddam will try to stall until after Nov elections in the US... its really his only and last chance

Spot on. Saddam knows all too well who his friends are --- American Democrats. It's not lost on Saddam that the congression votes of the DimRats almost prevented us from engaging Iraq in "The Mother of all Battles" a decade ago.

[Bigg Red]

...Saddam needs to die, just for starters.

Your motion gains my vote.

[cinFLA]

We'll get bogged down in delays.

Obviously, you think Clinton is still president!

[HAL9000]

Who writes this stuff? Their grammar is horrible.

The French.

[Mr. Mojo]

I suggest we deploy one Daisy Cutter for every "Baby Milk Factory" in Iraq.

The whole thing just sounds so innocent.

[arkfreepdom]

"...Saddam needs to die, just for starters.

Your motion gains my vote."

That's 3 of us. May I have the honor of pulling the trigger.

[Lucas1]

Another BS Bluff...Bush is crazy if he things the inspection route is going to work. Let us hope he knows better than that.

[nravoter]

LOL! Why wasn't dead put in charge of weapons inspections instead of Scott Ritter?
