Re:
What good were UN inspections if Iraq was going to be deceptive in dishonest? Why even bother with inspections if Iraq was going to play hide and seek with the inspectors?
That is why the inspections were becoming pointless. The Inspections also gave Saddam plenty of time to hide this stuff and move it.
I, for one, will be very concerned if we do not find Iraq’s WMD. We know they were developing them. If we don’t eventually find them, then someone has them- probably someone we don’t want having them.
