I wonder if that "fact" from a fictional movie is wholly reliable, but I don't know for certain.

Months.

If you look into the reference to the "six- months", someone associated with the IAEA said it, in the '90s, and it looks like a poor job of staff research, misattributing it to a formal report. In the other case, there was definitely no lie. The Czechs told the Administration that there was a meeting, it was the Administration that called it into doubt, later. Bush merely repeated the original report.

Yes, we have veto power, but we desire action, in this case.

I think they have shared information with Blix, with reservations, due to the possibility of a leak, and with the stipulation that Blix has to make it appear that he found things independently.

Israel does not have an aggressive foreign policy, and has menaced no one with a nuke, and it is too trivial to mention US retaliation for activity against the Kurds as a reason to obtain a nuke. Iraq clearly has no reason to pursue such programs without an aggressive design, which is ideologically consistent with his Ba'athism........
