Right. There were no guarantees,
When it appears that he poses an imminent threat. If the inspection process had continued the inspectors would have shown that Saddam had been disarmed. So, as it turns out, the time to pull the plug was never.

What again were the terms of the cease fire as far as compliance went?
OK. Fair enough. No gaurantees. What does his trend since the Gulf War tell you? If you were betting on the outcome, what would you bet on?
IF the process had continued and there wasn't another and yet another attempt to stonewall them, maybe. We didn't know what he did with all that stuff. So, if he did have it and sent it to someone we didn't like and they sent it back to us, it would have been bad. Is that a risk we should take? IOW wait till the thing hits us in the face and then react? Yes, guessing the market sometimes presents loss and sometimes gain.
