Oh we all know what the inspections were for. Including the ones that were ongoing when Bush decided to invade. The question is what the war was for?

I need to get you up to speed. Rather than quote a 1998 report to justify a 2003 war, maybe you should read the UN report a week before the invasion as being "up to date" when trying to justify the war.

How much time would it take to resolve the key remaining disarmament tasks? While cooperation can and is to be immediate, disarmament and at any rate the verification of it cannot be instant. 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.

That is correct, the UN inspectors were months away from being able to declare Iraq WMD free. THAT is the reason for the rush to war. The ficticious justification was going to evaporate for the nowcons.
But hey, why try to prove that Iraq had no WMD when you have an international body given unequivical and undetered access to inspect anywhere at anytime.... it makes do much more sense to kill a few hundred thousand people and then allow the country to fall into disarray.
Just to get you up to speed. Hey, that is what I am here for.
