You are aware, of course, that elBaradei told a bold-faced lie with regard to the aluminum tubes Iraq purchased?

And a ridiculous one at that. Never did explain why a rocket would need to have fuselages with mirror-smooth surfaces on the INSIDE and tolerance requirements in excess of any manufactured rocket- if it was merely trying to "improve the performance" on a "reverse engineered" prototype of what is a supposed to be a cheap, disposable weapons system. Nor did he explain why they would want to order so many tubes if the design was still in its infancy and not ready for the manufacturing stage.

And what's that we hear about the drone Blix forgot to mention while he was kissing Chirac's arse yesterday?

Gee, wonder why he didn't mention any of the interesting stuff on camera, but saw fit instead to bury it inside his report? HE might not be too smart but it looks like he's learning a lot from the Iraqis!

Don't know. Maybe. But it has nothing to do with the aforementioned documents anyway. In case you have not noticed, El Baradei said they were fake, and neither Straw or Powell protested... Draw your conclusions.
