A little more detail. Blix chimes in.

After meeting with European Union officials in Brussels, Belgium, chief U.N. inspector Hans Blix told reporters Iraq has illegally imported arms-related material as recently as 2002, but it is not yet clear whether the material is related to weapons of mass destruction.


Blix talks to reporters Thursday in Brussels.



"It's clear they have violated the bans of the United Nations in terms of imports," Blix said. The imported items include missile parts, CNN's Richard Roth reported.

U.S. officials reacted positively to Blix's comments.

"The evidence is mounting, and while inspectors went in with a stiff upper lip it is now more clear by the day that things are not going nearly as well as the public has been led to believe," one official said.

U.N. weapons inspectors found empty chemical warheads during an inspection of a storage area in Iraq on Thursday, a U.N. spokesman said in Baghdad

FInaLLY PROOF!

Key word here being empty.

If Rove worked for Saddam he would be distributing talking points about how this constitutes proof of destroying WMD.

Wonder how Karl will really position this.
