| Blix Draft Says Iraq Disarmament 'Very Limited' |
| 2003-02-27 |
| The BBC said today it had obtained a draft copy of the next U.N. weapons inspectors' report on Iraq and quoted chief inspector Hans Blix as saying the results on disarmament had so far been "very limited." Not a twitch from the old surprise meter... "Iraq could have made greater efforts to find any remaining proscribed items or provide credible evidence showing the absence of such items," the British broadcaster's World Service radio quoted Blix's draft as saying. "The results, in terms of disarmament have been very limited so far. The destruction of missiles, which is an important operation, has not yet begun. Iraq could have made full use of the declaration which was submitted on December 7." Instead they've been pretending and hoping the whole things would blow over... Blix is due to present the report to the U.N. Security Council on Saturday. The final version of the report is expected to be available later today. |
