...determination to wage one--seemed to slip. An assortment of forces sought to throw the U.S. off its appointment in Baghdad. The mushrooming crisis in North Korea clamored for Bush's attention. There were Thursday's reports from the chiefs of the U.N. inspection teams, Hans Blix and Mohamed ElBaradei, that while Iraq has not made "a serious effort" to comply substantively with inspectors' requests, the teams probably will not produce a smoking gun by Jan. 27.

Under the rules approved by the Security Council, Iraq must provide the U.N. with a full inventory of any weapons of mass destruction by Dec. 8. Though Saddam says he doesn't possess...
...ronald zak/AP ?We have the legal authority now? Mohamed ElBaradei is head of the International Atomic Energy Agency. Eighteen of his inspectors are waiting to return to Iraq to hunt for nuclear weapons. He spoke to Time's Andrew Purvis in Vienna. Excerpts: TIME: When will inspectors be going back to Iraq?

TIME: What do you need from the Council? ElBaradei: A firm resolve...
