Iraq says "come in!" Bush says "Stop stalling!"

This is truly bizarre:

Some allies say Iraq's pledge to open its weapons sites to U.N. inspectors solves the problem. Iraq renewed that pledge Tuesday.

"The U.N. weapons inspectors would have unfettered access and (can go) wherever they want to go," presidential adviser Amir al-Saadi said in Baghdad.

But the White House says Iraq is just stalling until its missiles are ready.

What part of the Iraqi pledge is stalling? Jeez. At least pretend to let inspectors poke around Iraq for a while before manufacturing a "crisis" that "justifies" an invasion. As far as I can tell, Iraq has given nothing but assurances that it will abide by the existing resolutions, and that weapons inspectors can go anywhere they want. If I'm wrong, set me straight.
