So it's not surprising that there is no new... nothing new on that score. However, what we need is evidence. The U.S. and the UK say that they have evidence that the Iraqis retain weapons of this kind. We do not have such evidence here, but at the same time, we do not have the evidence from Iraq that they have finished it. And hence, our conclusion is that one cannot have the confidence that the weapons are gone..... Well, for instance, you would have records of the destruction. They have said they destroyed all the biological weapons already in the summer of 1991. And one would have thought that they would have some record of that action. If they did not, well, then there would be some people who took part in the operations, and there were supplied in the past some diaries by some people. But it is an inadequate amount of evidence that has been supplied. And they would need to dig into their archives, into their budgets, into their reports, et cetera, and witnesses. "Yes. The burden of proof is on them, if they want to create confidence that they do not have any weapons of mass destruction left; the burden of proof is not on us to run around in every house in Iraq to search for it. We do go around and we check into industries, chemical industries, for instance, or pharmaceutical industries, into military installations. And so we can check a good deal. But you cannot check in every nook and corner of a large country. Above all, there's difficulty of course in finding things underground or anything that is mobile." pbs.org The military is finding thousands upon thousands of documents, proof that Iraq kept records on EVERYTHING under the sun.....and now you are going to tell me that they did not keep records of something as important as destroying WMD??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
