Ahh, but according to Wikipedia, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Blix) During the Iraq disarmament crisis before the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Blix was called back from retirement by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan to lead United Nations Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission in charge of monitoring Iraq... Hans Blix personally admonished Saddam for "cat and mouse" games and warned Iraq of "serious consequences" if it attempted to hinder or delay his mission. (end quote) Those "cat and mouse" games included creating the illusion of Iraq HAVING weapons that were banned including WMD, chemical weapons (which WERE found, dumped in the Tigris river). The "serious consequences" ended up being the invasion of Iraq by coalition forces led by the US and the eventual removal of the Hussein regime. So let's make this analogy - if someone walks into any office building/ airport/ mall/ school (or whatever trigger point you want to use) and SAYS they have a bomb and are going to set it off if their demands are not met, they are treated as HAVING a bomb even if they're holding an empty briefcase or a fake. The police, bomb squad or anyone else is NOT going to go to the trouble of verifying that the person is, in fact, holding a bomb. In the case of Iraq, Hussein was given 14 chances over a period of 11 years to provide irrefutable proof that their weapons had been destroyed. They refused.
