So why didn't someone start the process a long time ago then? Why did Bush choose now, post 9/11? The 'process' could have been started a long time ago. This is no reason to negate the process.

Massive stock piles of weapons which were not accounted for and biological and chemical weapons programs which continued even during the original UN inspections.

Not convinced of 'MASSIVE' stock piles.....but stock piles none the less...agreed. The world agreed to inspections. Let them find things and give them time to report. Why push it before it's time? We've waited 12 years....what's 1 more week?

The primary purpose of the weapons inspectors is to account for, verify and to destroy illegal weapons.

So, let them finish their jobs then hmm?

the inspectors have said that comprehensive inspections to their satisfaction could take up to 1 year.

That's probably very true. HOWEVER, the UN is VERY aware of Bush's position and will most likely announce a decision of some kind January 28th or shortly thereafter. No one is saying give him another year.

can someone please explain to this ignorant kid from Alaska how the US/Bush will profit from or "control oil" as a result of overthrowing Saddam Hussein or invading Iraq to do so?

Well, see, it's like this....it would mean that would be one more foothold for the US in that part of the world.....a part of the world where Israel is their only ally and only a handful of others are 'warm' to the US. It's not just about Iraq's oil...it's about a stronger position in the entire region...and why is that important? Oil.
And that's just the way I see it....
