There have been linkages between the Iraqi government and al-Qaeda going back more or less a decade.

I'm not concerned about weapons of mass destruction.

There have been linkages between the Iraqi government and al-Qaeda going back more or less a decade.

The purpose of the UN mechanism, this inspection mechanism, is not to engage in a cat and mouse game with Saddam Hussein and try to find weapons that the Iraqi government is working on concealing.

If all goes well, the Iraqis are going to have a country that's going to have a representative government and will be at peace with its neighbors and in the region.

What the UN inspectors can do is demonstrate to the world, help the Iraqi government demonstrate to the world that the Iraqis are cooperatively disarming if that is in fact what the Iraqi government decides to do.

I think the disarmament of Iraq is inevitable.
