If you were tied to a chair under a hot light and tortured for maybe
a
hour
or so, the truth would come out: Your only problem with the weapons
inspectors is that many were not Americans. What a crock.


What? What are you smoking now? That really came out of "left" field.
Other than your own biased perceptions and wild speculative
tendancies,
what would give you the idea that I have a prejudice against
non-american inspectors?

You just don't like it when your own logic is thrown back at you.

In the past, you and others have made derisive comments about the
inspectors. This is different than criticising the process itself.

When have I said anything negative about the inspectors themselves? I
would challenge you to find any post of mine which states such. I had a
problem with the whole process, and I believe that it was largely
ineffective because they were not given carte blanche approval to
inspect any place, anytime, and at their whim. They were still
restricted by the Iraqi government. I've read stories of inspectors
coming in the front door of a facility, while Iraqi's were quite
literally running out of the back door, carrying files and equipment.
When you are given a day's notice, you can clean up quite a few things.

But you're way out of line to suggest that I have some sort of
xenophobic rationale for not appoving of the inspection process.

Fortunately the current inspectors are not hampered by these little
problems. That is why they are not finding *so* much more stuff!
