Even with a proactive Iraqi attitude, induced by continued outside pressure, it would still take some time to verify sites and items, analyse documents, interview relevant persons, and draw conclusions. It would not take years, nor weeks, but months."

Why couldn't we give him a couple of months more?

I suppose we wanted to get the job done before the heat of summer...how'd that work out?

Mission Accomplished?
I just don't buy it, Saddam took a job that should have taken 6 months to a year at most to complete and rode with it for over 12 years, I don't buy Blix's optimistic take on a resolution just before the war started. Besides, Bush did give Saddam a last chance to come clean before the invasion took place.
