Blix doubts Falluja chemical arms find
2004-11-26
Former UN chief weapons inspector Hans Blix says he would be surprised if a chemical laboratory found in the Iraqi city of Falluja was capable of creating weapons.
"Pooh."
"Eh?"
"I said 'pooh.'"
"Let's see what the chemicals are," Blix told a packed gathering of the Oxford Union debating club on Thursday, after Iraqi officials said they had uncovered a chemical bomb factory in Falluja. "Many of these stories evaporate when they are looked at more closely," he told the mainly student crowd. "The chances [that the laboratory could produce weapons] are, I think, relatively small. I would be surprised if it was something real."
"Tut tut, my good man. A little deference, please! You're speaking to an expert here!"

#13  anon2 - Absolutely true in the chem area. Rather scary, in fact, how easy it is if crude is good enough. - i.e. if terror is the point, not body count.

#3  The terrorists had plenty of chemicals in Fallujah---boom chemicals. Blixie has the idiots fixation on Chem or BioWeapons. Ignore the idiot behind the curtain.

#2  The sharks spit him back out - whether because he's a piece of shit or professional courtesy I'm not sure. This will be featured in the sequel, I'd bet.
