He knows a deal that ties UNSCOM?s hands is not worth coming back to New York with. His spokesman Fred Eckhard indicated that one of the major hurdles in previous Iraqi offers -- time limits on weapons inspections -- was not present in this deal. So how did Annan do it? The so-called ?white glove? solution, diplomats accompanying inspectors, is one possibility, but that?s just window dressing. The secretary general hinted...
