LONDON (Reuters) - George W. Bush and Tony Blair (news - web sites) probably knew they were exaggerating the threat from Iraq (news - web sites) when they were making the case for war, according to former chief U.N. weapons inspector Hans Blix.

George W. Bush and Tony Blair (news - web sites) probably knew they were exaggerating the threat from Iraq (news - web sites) when they were making the case for war, according to former chief U.N. weapons inspector Hans Blix.

The U.S. president and the British prime minister ignored the few caveats in reports from intelligence services on Iraq's nuclear, chemical or biological weapons programs, he writes in his account of the months leading up to the U.S.-led invasion.


Blix says it was "probable that the governments were conscious that they were exaggerating the risks they saw in order to get the political support they would not otherwise have had."

Seems like even good old Hans Blix is selling out on us and not being hard on Bush and Blair in his new book....WTF?

He says the following...."probable that the governments were conscious that they were exaggerating the risks they saw in order to get the political support they would not otherwise have had."

Probable? exaggerating? No Mr. Blix...its not probable it is definite. And it's called lieing!
