[New Perspective]

Those quotes are priceless. FANTASTIC. I will use them wisely and boldly Sir. I just love it when they are caught. No one can tell me there is not bias in the media, all of them can easily look up these quotes. The hard part for them is actually reporting it.

Here are some quotes coming from the mouth of Hans Blix, former UN Chief Weapons Inspector:

This is Hans Blix's, UN chief weapons inspector, own list of WMD's and issues he highlighted, from his speech to the UN on Jan 27th, 2003, written up in the Daily News, UK., same day.

Chemicals:

Some 6,500 chemical bombs containing 1,000 tons of chemical agents and 'several thousand' chemical rocket warheads, known from previous declarations, are unaccounted for.

Inspectors found a "laboratory quantity" of thiodiglycol, a precursor of mustard gas.

Iraq claims it destroyed its stocks of VX gas after it proved to be of poor quality. But the UN says it has evidence that the VX was "weaponised".

The discovery of 122mm chemical rockets may be the tip of the iceberg. "Several thousand" chemical rockets are unaccounted for.

Iraq has repaired equipment at a chemical plant previously destroyed by the UN, supposedly for the production of chlorine and phenols.

Biological weapons:

Iraq claims to have destroyed 8,500 liters of anthrax, but has provided little evidence.

Iraq deliberately omitted to declare 650kg of bacterial growth medium. This could produce 5,000 liters of anthrax.

Missiles:

Iraq has supplied Al Samoud 2 and Al Fatah missles - both with ranges exceeding the 150km limit - to it's army. These missiles are "prima facie cases of proscribed systems".

Iraq has rebuilt casting chambers, previously destroyed by the UN and possibly used to make missiles with ranges above 150km.

Iraq has imported 380 rocket engines which could be used for the Al Samoud missiles.

Iraq has "illegally" imported chemicals used in missile propellants, also guidance and control systems.


Soooo,.... when Blix's team was doing the looking (and finding nothing), there was ample reason for the world to fear Saddam's regime, but now that Bush's team is doing the looking, there's no justification for the conflict that then ensued?

Suddenly, Bush has been lying and exaggerating about this stuff? Incredible!

What about Blix? Nobody stood up and criticized him, right there in the UN, when he made these claims.

The Left relies upon the peoples' inability to recall facts, even a couple of months prior, but our computers have much more reliable memories.
