Powell: Confident they will find weapons of mass destruction.

QUESTION: Finally, Mr. Secretary, I need to ask you what will be the international repercussion if, by chance, the United States do not find weapons of mass destruction and if the number of civilian killed in Iraq is massive?

SECRETARY POWELL: I am confident we will find weapons of mass destruction. There is no doubt in my mind that this regime had such weapons. We have the evidence. For the first several weeks of this campaign, the troops have not been looking for weapons of mass destruction; they've been dealing with the military forces of Iraq. Now that they are slowly being defeated, we can turn our attention to looking for these systems which we know have been well hidden and concealed over time. So I don't think that that will be an issue or a problem

The problem is Ritter is a scumbag liar & pedophile who has
been bought & paid for by Saddam. Other than that he is
simply not credible.

Nope. A text book example of the legitimate exercise of the right of self defense.

Why should Blix care?

"To me the question of the environment is more ominous than that of peace and war. We will have regional conflicts and use of force, but world conflicts I do not believe will happen any longer. But the environment, that is a creeping danger. I'm more worried about global warming than I am of any major military conflict." - Hans Blix

Blix said the war, which on Wednesday entered its 21st day, was "a very high price to pay in terms of human lives and the destruction of a country" when the threat of weapons proliferation could have been contained by UN inspections.

By attacking Iraq, Washington had sent the wrong message - that if a country did not possess biological, chemical or nuclear weapons, it risked being attacked.
