Blair made WMD mistake says Blix

Blix doubts authenticity of the 45-minute claim
The former head of the UN weapons inspectors Hans Blix has told a British newspaper that Tony Blair made a "fundamental mistake" in claiming that Saddam Hussein could deploy weapons of mass destruction in 45 minutes.
Although Mr Blix has previously expressed doubts about Britain and America's use of intelligence, his remarks to the Independent on Sunday go further than before.

He said the figure of 45 minutes to deploy weapons of mass destruction seemed "pretty far off the mark" to him.

I just cannot get it into my coconut on why Blix wasnt as forthcoming BEFORE the war as he is now...

edit: corrected spelling

[DUreader]

1. Blix was begging US and UK to share the intel. info and he was refused

Now it is all coming out and he has more to go on.

On edit: I don't know that much about Blix, he may be as corrupt as the rest

I do recall him begging for the intel and calling what he was

given 'garbage' and 'bullshit'
