David Kay says the info that Blix came out with on those longer range missiles just cemented the case. According to Kay, there's only one thing that could make those missiles useful tactically, and that's some sort of bio or chem weapon in the warheads. Case closed.

"David Kay says the info that Blix came out with on those longer range missiles just cemented the case. According to Kay, there's only one thing that could make those missiles useful tactically, and that's some sort of bio or chem weapon in the warheads. Case closed."

I missed that but had seen David Kay earlier in the day, discussing what happened at the UN.

Just a few minutes ago on MSNBC with Lester Holt:
Richard Butler says the evidence is overwhelming that Iraq has hidden weapons, that it's amazing people keep saying they haven't seen it, that they need more proof.

Butler quotes Elbaradei: Elbaradei says it may be that it doesn't exist, or it just wasn't there the day of the inspection....and he's speaking of nuclear weapons being moved to hide them from inspectors.

Butler says, "there are continuing reports that Saddam continued his nuclear program after 1998". Butler says of Elbaradei, he knows what Iraq has allowed him to see is not enough".

Butler says, he's struck at how Iraq keeps hanging in there on chemical weapons, not giving them up to the inspectors when they know this is going to cause a war. Butler says we should concentrate on finding VX..the most lethal...Butler says, "I don't see any movement on Iraq's part to come clean" .."

Connecting Butler's statement to your quote from David Kay, on Saddam's missles: Richard Butler said "....the most striking part of the report is what Iraq is doing on missles." Unfortunately and typically, immediately after Richard Butler said this, Holt ended the segment without follow-up.

Holt with retired general Wayne Downing in Kuwait: Downing said on today's UN report: "they've got all those weapons somewhere. The US expects to see chemicals used against them, and against the civilians as well". No doubt in Downing's mind that the inspectors haven't found what he knows is there. Downing definitely believes Iraq has snockered the inspectors."
