Here is the quote from your own post of his remarks: "Another matter and one of great significance is that many proscribed weapons and items are not accounted for. One must not jump to the conclusion that they exist. However, that possibility is also not excluded. If they exist, they should be presented for destruction." A fine example of making something huge sound like not much of a problem to suit your aims. He's talking about all of the weapons that Powell listed in his report. HUGE amounts of chemical and biological weapons. Blix just refers to them as "proscribed weapons". Why must we not assume they exist according to Blix? We know he had them (fact), and we know that he is required to prove he destroyed them, or to produce them for destruction. We got nothing about them from Iraq. If they are not inclined to help us locate them, how are the inspectors supposed to do it? Material Breach. To not acknowledge that is to ignore the facts. You think reserving war for only the most dire of circumstances is being a pansy? I guess you could reserve war until some WMD is used, or he becomes a nuclear power, but frankly, that would be stupid. What were the dire circumstances in Yugoslavia that required military action? Hypocricy. Brian
