Belgian Foreign Minister Louis Michel on Wednesday said that a British dossier on Iraq's weapons cannot justify a military intervention in Iraq.
"Nope. Nope. Not convinced. Don't bother me with evidence..."
Michel told the Belgian TV RTBF that the 50-page dossier unveiled on Tuesday by the British Prime Minister Tony Blair proves that the return of the inspectors to Iraq is necessary. He stressed that the report of the British prime minister would not change the view point of Belgium or of a number of other
countries. "We have demanded that Iraqis accept the return without conditions of the inspectors. They have accepted the return without conditions of the inspectors, it is necessary now to leave to the inspectors the time to do their work," he told the French-language TV.
"We have all the time in the world. Sammy might strike at someplace like Paris or Rome or even Barcelona, but we're betting he doesn't even know where Brussels is..." |
