The last round of inspections were not without their "problems". Despite that,
the achievements are still remarkable. Some highlights:

1. Removal of significant amounts of weapons usable nuclear material.
2. Accounted for 817 of 819 missiles of the proscribed range that Iraq was
*known* to hold.
3. Destruction of 75 SCUD chemical warheads
4. 88000 chemical munitions were made safe

This is a tiny part of what they were able to do. Now UNMOVIC are back in Iraq,
but this time they have a stronger mandate. Ignore your “liberal” media. Give
UNMOVIC time, and they'll prove their worth again. SH is not about to launch an
attack on anyone – time is on our side.

(...) Like I said, it's leaked. The US decided to present it anyway. From commentary on today's presentation by Powell: (URL) ... it's true that there was no single moment like that (Adlai Stevenson smoking gun): rather, there were several of them. (...)
