<I think you will have to include Blix in the conspiracy.> No, I don't. Blix just said he hadn't found any, and he was (partly) dissatisfied with Iraqi compliance with inspections. What US and UK leaders said, is that they knew Iraq had WMD. That is a wholly different statement from what Blix said. <If you now believe that Iraq did not have WMD, can you explain why they wouldnt try to comply with 1441?> They did try to comply. In the chaos of war, then uprisings in the north and south, and then another war later, it is not reasonable to insist that perfect documentation be preserved. It is not reasonable to insist that they must have had WMD if they can't provide perfect documentation of every item. Buildings get burned. People get killed. Records get lost. These things happened a lot in Iraq.
