Teribus, the UNMOVIC terms of refernce have nothing to do with the fact that the US admin treated Blix with contempt.

I said here well before the invasion of Iraq (citing Schwarzkopf and Powell from 1991 among others) that to remove Saddam with no thought for the consequences would create a vacuum that the neighbouring countries, Syria, Iran and Turkey would rush to fill.I said then and still think that of these, Turkey may turn out to cause the greatest instability. It beggars belief that you could think then, or now, that this was a smart move.

What I could not have foreseen was that Bush would not just take out the regime, but with it - in pig-headed defiance of all rational advice - the army, the police and just about every tier of national and local government. I suppose this is the bit you like best of all about the whole criminal adventure.
