I little help with my naivette here.

There ARE Iraqi ships, no?

SHOULDN'T the UN Inspectors board them?

Missing the point here. It is not the duty of the inspectors to search everywhere, it is the duty of the Iraqis to prove they have disposed of what they have, account for past arsenals, and OPEN their facilities, unrestricted, to inspectors.

But yes, the inspectors could board Iraqi flagged or chartered vessels. So can the US/UK/Australian Navy.

Of course not. That would make sense. We can't have any of that.
