Must the UNMOVIC and IAEA inspectors continue their work in Iraq in the interest of a political settlement? Have all the necessary conditions to that end been met? Russia answers yes to that question. The conditions are there. The inspectors must continue their inspections. And this is a position shared by the overwhelming majority of states in the world, including within the Security Council of the United Nations.

en The inspectors are going back in for one single purpose, and that is to make sure that Iraq is complying with the agreements it make at the end of the Gulf War to give up all weapons of mass destruction activity, ... The only way we can be sure of that is if the inspectors go back in, are allowed to do their work.

en [But is it? Even if inspectors return to Iraq with expanded powers, can they document, uncover and dismantle Saddam's full arsenal more completely than their predecessors? (From 1991 to 1998, monitors found hundreds of tons of chemical agents, dismantled more than 800 Scud missiles and wiped out Saddam's budding nuclear program, but they didn't come close to uncovering everything.) The U.S. has even less confidence in inspections after a hiatus: Saddam has had the past four years to hone his concealment skills. In eight years of efforts to uncover Iraq's stockpiles,] we taught them what we could find, and they learned how to conceal, deceive and deny, ... is a lot smaller but a lot harder for us to ever have detailed knowledge of.
