Folks , you’ll see a lot of reverse spin applied by some here, not sure what there motivation or agenda is,, but it is clear, no matter the quantity or mechanism used or timeframe involved, some bad things were brewed and used and likely would be again .. but some will only believe something when they breath and taste it themselves.
I say, be my guest.. and feel fortunate it didn’t pop up on our shores.

remember Anfal?
As a matter of fact I do. Was that slaughter due to bumbling old Hanz Blix? Please reference the Kay and Dulfer reports, and stop wasting my time.
To: NormsRevenge
I thought we were rid of this guy...geez!
To: LanaTurnerOverdrive
who’s wasting whose time.. lol
You believe everything divulged in times of war? tsk tsk.
my comments about Blix stand.
his efforts were the true waste of time.

Just out of curiosity, why did we invade Iraq anyway, IYHO?
I hate to ask you to post much more, you don’t appear to be a frequent poster per se.. more so an infrequent critic and poster, not that is a bad thing , mind you.

"I think we should know by now"All for transparency sake, huh? The boobs at State already put Syria "on notice." Considering that the USA has embarked on one of the greatest endeavors not yet fulfilled, you think you are privileged to know something? (BTW, the IAEA says Iraq can produce WMD)

To: Ernest_at_the_Beach
Well, where did you come from? Yes, I am quite familiar with you both, and the seemingly desperate attempts of jveritas to justify the WMD claim....even now, after the president himself has repeatedly admitted “there weren’t any” My point is this, then I must go to bed: I do not see a difference between the results from Blix, Dulfer or Kay, yet only Blix gets the Keystone Cop treatment. I am not a fan of Blix, nor do I care one bit for the UN, I just have a deep need for fairness.
To: NormsRevenge
Dual use, Iraqi general officers calling our own commanders during the drive to Baghdad pleading not to be blamed when the gas got released (which they believed with all their hearts was going to happen), the thousands of binary chem delivery artillery shells found, etc etc...
Yeah, it’s all just the usual stupid American tricks. Everybody knows us Americans are just too dumba@@ to have a clue. The French have always said so.
You’ll never find a shortage of folk who live on their knees sucking from the enemy propaganda spigot. Especially in this day and age where it is so trendy and fashionable a thing to do.

ahhh, fairness.
Yes, Saddam would agree.
Oh wait, he’s dead.
Oh and for what, pray tell?
for using things that didn’t exist.
No, wait, just never found, after the fact.
We want to be fair after all, don’t we?

Any reference to Hans Blix reminds me of his role as shark food in Team America - funniest movie ever. Totally gross, outrageously non-PC, and hysterically funny. "You're bweaking my bawrs, Hans Brix!"

Blix should have been swinging from a rope as one of Saddam’s enablers 15 minutes after they cut down the ‘Lion of Baghdad’ from his appointment with the gallows.

"no wmd"
But traces have been found. Not only that as reported on ABC News in April of 2004, a sarin gas canister was fired at U.S. troops by terrorists. Several of the troops had to be treated for possible contamination. Fortunately the terrorist did not know how to fire it correctly since the shell was a fuel-air mixture type. Where could the shell have come from? Sweden?
To: crazyhorse691
Saddam was already an accomplished oppressor and was actively involved in paying off terrorist attacks on Israel.
and Saddam fired on US Pilots for 8 years while Mr. Clinton did nothing to protect them.

I can't believe this hasn't been said before, "Blix is ignorance." I could not find it with google, at least.
From 1981 to 1997, Mr. Blix headed the International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N. body responsible for inspecting nuclear sites around the world - including Iraq's - to make sure they are not cranking out atomic bombs. As late as 1990, the same year Iraq invaded Kuwait, Mr. Blix's inspectors rated Iraq's cooperation as "exemplary." But all the while Saddam was running a vast A-bomb program under their very noses. Iraq produced both plutonium and enriched uranium for nuclear weapons in clear violation of the IAEA's rules. Some of the work went on at the same places that were being inspected, and was hidden with the help of an Iraqi official who was himself a former IAEA inspector. (His knowledge of inspection techniques helped dupe his former colleagues). Had the Gulf War not intervened, Iraq might have made its first bomb without anyone being the wiser.
(A WSJ article)
More.. As director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) from 1981 to 1997, he was in charge of overseeing inspections of the country's nuclear programme. During that time, the Iraqis managed to hide an advanced nuclear weapons development programme from the IAEA. It was only discovered after the Gulf War in 1991.
