Time's Up
(Wall Street Journal) - Claudia Rosett Let's do the math. To get even a show of forward motion from Saddam, it has taken 17 failed UN resolutions, 12,000 pages of pointless documents from Baghdad, umpteen visits to Iraq by Mr. Blix, the concentrated attention for many months of the entire world, plus the deployment to the Persian Gulf of six U.S. aircraft carrier groups and 250,000 troops. And what have we got to show for it? Saddam has forked over one spare suspected biological bomb and bulldozed two dozen or so missiles he got caught lying about. Folks, this arithmetic is not going our way.
