UNSCOM was set up in 1991 as part of the truce agreement to end the Gulf War. It had a simple mission: to verify the destruction of Saddam's remaining missile, chemical- and biological-weapons capability. But U.N. inspectors quickly hit a wall: Saddam had no intention of cooperating with their inspections. So, eager to do their jobs, they turned from monitoring to spying to uncover his hidden caches. In interviews with key intelligence and military officials, TIME has pieced together that slow slide into espionage--one that peaked last March when a specially trained operative from the Pentagon...
...skirmishes over a road that had been closed by the rebels highlight the gulf that remains between the two sides. Yugoslavia's Serb government held a cabinet meeting in the territory Friday to underline its determination to resist KLA demands for independence. U.S. envoy Richard Holbrooke brokered a cease-fire last fall to avoid NATO air strikes against the Serbs, but that was widely interpreted as the two sides taking a winter recess.

Still, no one expected the stunning blow that came in the statement by Senate majority leader Trent Lott not long before the first airbursts were seen over Baghdad: "I cannot support this military action in the Persian Gulf at this time. Both the timing and the policy are subject to question." This was a break with tradition. Even when Ronald Reagan's 1983 invasion of Grenada just two days after the terrorist bombing of Marine barracks in Beirut led to more attacks at home on U.S. policy in Lebanon, a skeptical Democratic leadership refrained from attacking the President's motives...
