Did you watch Hans Blix interview today on the O'Reilly show? Well he off course cannot call Bush a liar. But he made it pretty clear when he spoke of the 600 lbs of missing anthrax that Saddam was lying. he even said that all the sited the US wanted his people to go to provided no evidence of WMD.

He trashed Bush and he did not have to come out and call him a liar. Did you see the heated exchange with the war monger O'Reilly. There is a big difference between cease fire and end of war.

even Hans Blix believed what you say Bush lied about. Everyone believed.

If Bush & Co. had said "We believe these weapons exist, but we do not have definitive evidence," that would have been a true statement. Instead they said, "We know these weapons exist, and we know what and where they are." That was different and untrue. It made all the difference in convincing Americans to support the war.

Of course by logic, not finding certain weapons cannot prove they don't exist....We do know they DID. We do know we don't know where they went.

They DID exist in the 80s and early 90s. We know from interviews with Iraqi scientists, and to a certain extent from documentary records, that they were destroyed in the early 90s because Saddam concluded it was too dangerous to keep them with UN inspectors combing the country. The inspections worked.
