#1 I suggest increasing the number of inspectors by about 250,000 and arming them to the teeth. I believe the United States would be willing to provide the manpower and equipment.

Betcha the come up with some interesting stuff.

#2 Can't we just stop worrying about what France says or thinks? It gives them far more status that they deserve. How the heck did those losers ever get a U.N. Security Council veto anyway?

#3 Let them have all the inspectors they want. They just need to know that their window of inspection will just be for a few more weeks, then it transitions to the window of the human shield. "Their safety is not our responsibility." The foreign embassy folks have already taken the hint.

#4 Inspections worked, they proved Saddam was unwilling to disarm. Tripling the inspectors will certainly confirm that he's three times as unwilling to disarm but I'm not sure what that will get us except another trip to the UN so everyone can beg for handouts from the US to vote for something that is in their best interests in the first place.
