Blix Leaves Iraqi Chemical Bomb Drones Out Of UN Presentation

But then buries it in the 170-page written report. If you remember, this is what Powell discussed at his UN presentation a month ago. Still, the Security Council does not see that a crazed maniac like Hussein would ever use those drones against the US.

"We've also discovered through intelligence that Iraq has a growing fleet of manned and unmanned aerial vehicles that could be used to disperse chemical and biological weapons across broad areas," Bush said in preparation for a congressional vote authorizing the use of force against Iraq. "We're concerned that Iraq is exploring ways of using these UAVs for missions targeting the United States."

The fact that these drones are possessed by Iraq and have a range exceeding the UN-imposed limitation was so inconsequential that he didn't bother to mention it ... Mr. Blix is so intent on looking balanced he could find positive spin in the Rape of Nanking.
