Iraq hasn't had WMDs for a decade: chief U.S. weapons inspector

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor

There never were any Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq in the past few years, probably. The chief weapons inspector, Hans Blix, spent three months trying to find them, and they simply didn't exist. That means the entire justification for the war on Iraq was based on false or misleading information.

Interestingly, there are two stories you don't hear much in the pro-war U.S. press: 1) Hans Blix's view that WMD haven't existed in Iraq for nearly a decade, and 2) Any serious discussion on the justification for the war in the first place.



Iraq probably destroyed its weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in the early 1990s, the former United Nations chief weapons inspector Hans Blix has said. Mr Blix said the capture of ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein was important, as he may reveal at what stage he might have destroyed them. Mr Blix and a team of UN weapons inspectors spent more than three months searching for WMD in Iraq in the build-up to the war without finding anything they deemed significant. Mr Blix was in the Swedish capital Stockholm on Tuesday to launch an independent international commission on WMD. The Swedish Government will fund its work, but the body will be independent from any government.
