[Key dates:](http://www.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/meast/11/14/iraq.inspectors/)  
[ul]  
[li]November 18: Weapons inspectors arrive in Iraq to set up logistics, communications.[/li][li]December 8: By this date, Iraq must provide a “currently accurate, full, and complete declaration” of any weapons of mass destruction program.[/li][li]December 23: Weapons inspections must resume.[/li][li] February 21: Inspectors must report back to the Security Council.[/li][/ul]

That’s February 21 (say it with me, Sweet Pea) two thousand and **three**. Very good!

Can you direct me to a newspaper where it has been reported that Iraq has already allowed weapons inspectors back in? And to the reports of said inspectors?

:smack:  
I didn’t think so. It’ll be a little while longer before I see you there.
