He said it to the BBC the previous day (March 19, 2003): http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/2867913.stm I notice you snipped this from my Consaon quote: Yesterday [March 19, 2003], the New York Times reported that the Pentagon has prepared an elaborate mission to find and test suspected chemical and biological weapons sites. Military sources told Judith Miller that they have a list of between 300 and 1,400 sites. Apparently the information to be used by the Pentagon teams wasn't disclosed to Hans Blix. Indeed, he told the BBC that his inspectors had been dispatched on several pointless excursions by American intelligence. Would the Bush administration have withheld useful information and intentionally sent the U.N. inspectors elsewhere? Then when the U.N. teams found nothing, the inspection process could be declared a failure. "I'm very curious to see if they [the U.S.] find something in Iraq," said Blix drily. Quite frankly I don't think the Bush administration trusted Blix  to be able to find anything and since Blix notified the Iraqi's in advance of which buildings and sites he was going to, that gave the Iraqis the opportunity to move things or sanitize the site before he got there. Obviously the Pentagon wasn't going to tip off the Iraqis via Hans Blix with ever suspected site so they could be cleaned up before inspection. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
