"Think of it this way, would he rather be facing a tribunal for war crimes (or dead), or simply forgoe certain weapons for another time? I think that if the threat is real, he will do whatever he can to avert war and stay in power."

What other time? Its now or never for Saddam. I also think that he will do whatever he can to stay in power, but I think that involves not giving up his WMD. If he does, he will loose followers. He cannot have that. America is going to take Saddam out of power, he is a threat to national security, America cannot survive with Saddams and Osamas running around trying to screw things up. If we find nothing, we will start looking for something else. If we cannot find anything else, then we will make something up... well, you know what I mean.
