But I thought the UN weapons inspectors were incompetent clods!

Apparently not.

An Iraqi minister has said United Nations nuclear inspectors are welcome to return in response to concerns of an "apparent systematic dismantlement" of Saddam Hussein's once-vigorous nuclear program.

So there was no plan to win the peace or guard Saddam's still existing weapons facilities from the 80s? "Mission Accomplished?" Hell, couldn't we goad Poland into guarding these facilities?

Miserable failure on a stick.
