<b>'No evidence'</b>



<font color="blue"> Mr Blix cast doubt on American intelligence material presented to the Security Council last week by US Secretary of State Colin Powell. <!--color-->[/color]



He said he had no evidence that Iraq had had advance warning of inspections - as has been claimed by the United States - and questioned satellite images said to show suspicious movement at an Iraqi weapons site.





"The reported movement of munitions at the site could just as easily have been a routine activity as a movement of proscribed munitions in anticipation of an imminent inspection," he said.

I was watching the proceedings of the security council today. It was fun to watch the United States getting slapped from all sides by everyone. Colin Powell sure looked baffled, out of breath and out of words. Lets hope that the Ameican people understand what a grave danger their govt. is putting all of them in for generations to come. Lets hope they stand up against their govt. and not allow Dubya and his gangsters to commit crimes against humanity in their name.

It was interseting that Powell spoke without notes and that the French ambassador read from a prepared text. It was obvious that the French had made their minds up in advance.

As regards Blix calling Powell a liar, it didn't happen: Blix merely pointed out that there are other possible interpretations of some of Powell's evidence.

The fat lady hasn't sung yet so let's wait and see how the situation plays out.

President Bush has made his mind up about going to war as well, long before the inspections sarted....!

Why don't you complain about that as well.....? Secondly, do you see any change in the never ending Bush talk, for the consumption of the ignorant US public, regardless of whatever situation plays out?


Blix callied Powell a liar, indirectly. It's for Powell to reaffirm the "other" interpretation of the evidence if he isn't a lier....... I expect him to remain silent. (let's watch and see if he dares opens his mouth on the subject again)

it will be clear that the 'League of Nations' is of no use since the avarice of france (where Chirac ran again to prolong his immunity from corruption prosecution) and the personal political ambition of Schroeder were instrumental to the destruction of the UN.

Before this is done, unless these nations change their stance you are liable to see an empty seat where it says USA, and a NYC which prosecutes UN staffs, and international staffs for the millions in unpaid parking tickets, and when they are not paid invites the UN to LEAVE .

It would not even surprise me to see the axis of weasels and cheese eating surrender monkees allow a vote placing economic sanctions on the USA.

I await this comic conclusion to a place where Iraq chairs the Committee on disarmament, and Lybia the Human Rights Commission
