I took no issue with the articles content. It's accurate. The title was not. It has a ring of finality implying search is over which it is most certainly not.
Hiding weapons well is most certainly not a sign the inspections were going well. It is a sign they might well have failed. Dithering and slowness were not an asset in finding and destroying weapons which was the goal. To have been effective complete compliance and a large team from the hgetgo were needed. Delays allowing time to hide material are intolerable for an effective inspection process. This is why France's refusal to allow any force deadline was so counterproductive to effective inspections. Iraq increased cooperation only with increasing threat of force.
