Mark I've seen you post that before so I'll ask you, "what makes you think it won't?"
As for my answers, the inspectors do know of the hundreds of tons of VX and Anthrax, and they know of the existence of tens of thousands of delivery devices as I've mentioned many, many, many times.

If the regime is removed, then those who hide the weapons are gone. Hidden weapons aren't invisible, their existence is protected by people, and people talk. No not everyone talks, but when you are talking about hundreds of tons of chemical/biological weapons and tens of thousands of delivery devices you are talking about a whole hell of a lot of people involved.
Once those who protect and hide the existence of WoMD are gone, those weapons will be found. Once Baghdad is taken and Iraq is secured those weapons will all be found because there will be no one to hide them anymore.
Mark, I know you believe in the idea that those items will remain hidden for years and suddenly a corrupt Iraqi regime, years from now, will bring them out and the problem will start all over again. The idea that those weapons can remain hidden isn't really valid. Hiding them from 200 inspectors waiting for permission is quite different from hiding them from 300K occupying troops.
