“I did find what I was looking for. The Senator has made exactly the right point. Inspectors can verify someone who wants to be in voluntary compliance, but inspectors cannot find something you are trying to hide. Two comments. Secretary Wolfowitz said, on January 23: It is not the job of inspectors to disarm Iraq. It is Iraq's job to disarm itself. What inspectors can do is confirm that a country has willingly disarmed and provide verifiable evidence that it has done so. Then Secretary Powell had said this in the Washington Post a week ago: The question isn't how much longer do you need for inspectors to work. Inspections will not work.”
