Sorry CarolC, that was after the LAST deadline. He had his chance, and those like you who helped him to think he did not need to comply share the blood with him.

Who the hell cares whether or not it was after the last deadline, if using means other than force can save innocent lives? He was complying as of the last report from Dr. Blix. That should be enough to justify continuing the inspections.

To suggest that because Saddam didn't do everything the big and powerful US wanted him to exactly when they wanted him to do it justifies killing tens of thousands of innocent civilians as well as over a thousand US military personnel is just insane. And if you believe it yourself, you are criminally insane.
