I would suspect that the US would notify Annan a couple of days in advance, if he failed to order the inspectors out, their fate would be his doing.

Nah, Kofi leaks like a seive. We'll notify the inspectors in person, unless they are in Cypress anyway, sleeping to get ready for the next day's inspections. And if that's the case, there is no need to notify them at all, as they can't go anywhere without us flying them in. They can find out when they discover their plane isn't going to Iraq but instead someplace else, or doesn't take off at all. Kofi doesn't need to know until after the fact.
