PORPHYROGENITUS REMARKS ON A CHANGE IN ANTI-WAR ARGUMENTS:

Many of them allowed that the old inspection regime was ineffectual. Several suggested that inspections be backed by a force of 50,000 troops so they could push their way in wherever and whenever they wanted, without obstruction. But one letter from Iraq later and virtually all of them have dropped that – it appears that those among the “warbloggers” who thought that this option that they claimed to favor was simply a rhetorical device, not sincerely believed, but simply an excuse to object to more serious methods, were right all along. They have now taken, once again, to repeating Tarik Aziz’s line.

This is a bit of an overstatement, I think, but it’s true enough in places.

UPDATE: The IndePundit has some comments, too.
