Hi Fernando, because the UN inspectors up until now could only see what Saddam intended them to see, nothing more. They did not get complete unfettered access and were not even pointed to valid locations. It was noncompliance, remember? The only compliance that took place was on stuff that was actually found, nothing was ever volunteered. Taped voice conversations also validated that the inspected sites knew in advance that the inspectors were going to arrive and moved stuff. Now, there will be no restrictions on inspections.

Since the 'primary' purpose for war in Iraq was non-compliance with resolution 1441 - inspections are a must.
