Blix Says Iraq Has Not Accounted for Some Weapons
Fri February 14, 2003 10:42 AM ET

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Chief U.N. weapons inspector Hans Blix said on Friday Iraq had failed to account for many proscribed weapons and must explain what happened to suspected stocks of anthrax, VX gas and long-range missiles.
Two versions of Iraq's al Samoud 2 missile exceed the maximum range of 93 miles set by the United Nations, Blix also told the U.N. Security Council.

"The issues of anthrax, the nerve agent VX and long-range missiles (are) ... perhaps the most important problem we are facing. Iraq itself must squarely tackle this task and avoid belittling the questions," he said.

But Blix, reporting to the council on the progress his inspectors have made in Iraq, said he had no convincing evidence that Iraq had advance knowledge that the inspectors were coming and that his teams were "effectively helping to bridge the gap in knowledge."

He said Iraq had accepted an offer by South Africa to send a group of experts for further talks on how to disarm.

Bushies have wanted war with or without excuse. Let's see what's next.

BTW, Colin looks tense and pale while he's listening to Blix speach.
