[QUOTE="av8torntn, post: 846732, member: 8259"] Some Hans Blix quotes for you. It seems you are calling him a liar. These are all from his statement to the UN security council. "I have mentioned the issue of anthrax to the Council on previous occasions and I come back to it as it is an important one. Iraq has declared that it produced about 8,500 litres of this biological warfare agent, which it states it unilaterally destroyed in the summer of 1991. Iraq has provided little evidence for this production and no convincing evidence for its destruction. There are strong indications that Iraq produced more anthrax than it declared, and that at least some of this was retained after the declared destruction date. [B]It might still exist.[/B] Either it should be found and be destroyed under UNMOVIC supervision or else convincing evidence should be produced to show that it was, indeed, destroyed in 1991." "Iraq states that they were overlooked from 1991 from a batch of some 2,000 that were stored there during the Gulf War. This could be the case. [B]They could also be the tip of a submerged iceberg[/B]. The discovery of a few rockets does not resolve but rather points to the issue of several thousands of chemical rockets that are unaccounted for." "The nerve agent VX is one of the most toxic ever developed. Iraq has declared that it only produced VX on a pilot scale, just a few tonnes and that the quality was poor and the product unstable. Consequently, it was said, that the agent was never weaponised. Iraq said that the small quantity of agent remaining after the Gulf War was unilaterally destroyed in the summer of 1991. UNMOVIC, however, has information that conflicts with this account. There are indications that Iraq had worked on the problem of purity and stabilization and that more had been achieved than has been declared. Indeed, even one of the documents provided by Iraq indicates that the purity of the agent, at least in laboratory production, was higher than declared. [B]There are also indications that the agent was weaponised.[/B] In addition, there are questions to be answered concerning the fate of the VX precursor chemicals, which Iraq states were lost during bombing in the Gulf War or were unilaterally destroyed by Iraq." "There remain significant questions as to whether Iraq retained SCUD-type missiles after the Gulf War." "What is clear is that they were [B]illegally brought into Iraq[/B], that is, Iraq or some company in Iraq, circumvented the restrictions imposed by various resolutions." "So far we have reported on the recent find of a small number of empty 122 mm [B]warheads for chemical weapons[/B]." "The recent inspection find in the private home of a scientist of a box of some 3,000 pages of documents, much of it relating to the laser enrichment of uranium support a concern that has long existed that documents might be distributed to the homes of private individuals."
