Actually, I would quite agree with the massing-at-the frontiers-and delivering-an-ultimatum strategy. I really do feel that, if the Iraqi generals are not all incompetent fools, they would possibly talk Hussein into allowing real inspections (with us still mobilised and taking out a target of opportunity from time to time to keep his feet in the fire. They might even overthrow him, though I personally doubt it. He has made of Iraq what Hitler made of Germany, a series of headlless sructures with all power concentrated in himself.
