Charles Duelfer is currently a visiting resident scholar at the CSIS*. He served as the deputy executive chairman of the UN Special Commission on Iraq (UNSCOM) from 1993 until its termination in 2000.

For the last several months of its existence he was the acting chairman. The commission was established following the Gulf War by the UN Security Council and charged with eliminating Iraq's weapons of mass destruction as well as monitoring Iraq to assure such activities are not restarted. Before joining the commission, he was deputy assistant secretary of state for arms control and multilateral defense matters.

From 1990 to 1992, Mr. Duelfer was in charge of defense trade matters as the director of the Center for Defense Trade and deputy to the assistant secretary of state for politico-military affairs. In this capacity he had responsibility for arms transfers, munitions licensing, and conventional arms control.

Mr. Duelfer first joined the Politico-Military Bureau of the State Department in 1983 and was responsible for special regional activities (conflicts in Chad, Libya, and Grenada), as well as ongoing strategic verification, space and strategic defense issues.

In 1984, he became deputy director of the Office of International Security Policy and was responsible for European, African, and Latin American regions. He became director, with responsibility for regional security issues worldwide, in 1985. During this period, Mr. Duelfer also worked with the special coordinator for counterterrorism to develop, implement, and exercise the State Department's terrorism response system.

Before joining the Department of State, Mr. Duelfer worked at the White House Office of Management and Budget (1977-1983), where he was responsible for Department of Defense strategic nuclear forces and space programs.

Charles Duelfer Warns on Inspections

Beware of Saddam's tricks, UN arms inspector warned
(September 30, 2002)

By David Wastell
Diplomatic Correspondent
The Sunday Telegraph


The United Nations weapons inspector who led the only official visits to Saddam Hussein's presidential palaces in 1998 has warned the head of the new UN team that Iraq will seek to trick him when the two sides meet in Vienna tomorrow.

Charles Duelfer, the former deputy chief inspector, said last night that he feared that Hans Blix, the chief weapons inspector, would concede too much during the discussions with Baghdad officials on practical arrangements for inspections.

In particular he fears that, without a fresh UN resolution to change the ground rules, Mr Blix will give in to Iraqi demands to restrict inspectors' access at key locations - not just the eight presidential palaces described in last week's British government dossier, but also to dozens of other "sensitive sites" around the country.

Mr Blix's team is planning to fly to Iraq on October 15 to resume the search for weapons of mass destruction - four years after the last UN attempts at inspection.

"There is a danger in the Vienna meeting," Mr Duelfer told The Sunday Telegraph. "I worry what he is going to accept in terms of procedures, implementation and other practical questions."

7. uh-oh...

it sounds like the new angle is going to be about what Saddam was planning to do instead of what he was capable of doing..and that will be so subjective that arguments on either side of the issue will only be opinions.

The repubs will scream their opinions louder and longer and the public may be swayed,so we need to nip this one now.

[Guaranteed]

8. Go Duelfer!!

:silly:
