Blix: Iraq destroyed WMD's in early 90's
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3323633.stm

Blix sceptical on Iraqi WMD claim

Mr Blix hopes Saddam Hussein will tell the truth about WMD
Iraq probably destroyed its weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in the early 1990s, the former United Nations chief weapons inspector Hans Blix has said.
Speaking to the BBC's World Service, Mr Blix said he was more certain than ever that there was no WMD in Iraq.

Mr Blix said the capture of ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein was important, as he may reveal at what stage he might have destroyed them.

The US and UK used concerns over WMD to justify the March invasion of Iraq.

Mr Blix and a team of UN weapons inspectors spent more than three months searching for WMD in Iraq in the build-up to the war without finding anything they deemed significant.

1. Why don't we have proof of the destruction?
I don't think there were any weapons after the Iran War. Why does Blix think that there would be any after 88? He's a strange fellow...is he trying to hedge his bet just in case they bribe/threaten Saddam into saying that there were WMDs?

2. Blix and the anti-War movement will be totally vindicated.
Bushhole and the warpigs will be indicted by the facts. Every passing day has me more convinced of this.
