I'm astonished!Iraq Threatens to End Disposal
Official says Baghdad could stop missile destruction if U.S. plans war
I hold no brief for Iraq, but... duh! Within reason, of course. Some of this is probably an excuse for what will turn into delay and obfuscation soon, but certainly if US troops were marching across the border, it would be understandable if Saddam had higher priorities than keeping Mr. Blix happy. After all, he really only cares whether Mr. Blix and co. are happy when putting up with them is the alternative to a war that would be lost from the moment it began. His indifference to Mr. Blix and Mr. Blix's predecessors when US troops weren't on the border, however, defines the nature of what we're up against - if Iraq is to be contained, our choices are two: 1) invasion of Iraq followed by occupation until a new system starts to emerge or 2) indefinite "occupation" of surrounding nations so that the UN can play peacemaker without anyone getting hurt.

Or doing they think we're going to have an agent toss hand grenades in the reactor cores MacGuyver style?
