Blix would have given us a report saying they found nothing, everyone would have gone home, and 3 - 5 years later, Saddam would be testing his first nuke in the Iraqi desert.
You're assuming that the inspectors would go home. Just why would that occur?
The only reason inspectors left was because we started bombing again, and their safety was in jeapordy.
Furthermore, given that is was more than 5 years between the end of the war and when inspectors left - and given that his WMD programs are SO hard to find now...you've now proven that the weapons inspectors were doing their jobs and were successful.
They (and I, if I ever made that statement) were wrong. It's turning out to be more difficult that expected.
Glad to see they've made apologies to Han Blix for being wrong...oh wait...they haven't.
Like I said - good thing their Republicans - when Democrats make a mistake, they don't get away with saying "oppzie, we made a little mistake."
