"I felt the armed action taken was not in line with what the Security Council had decided five months earlier. Had there been any denials of access, any cat-and-mouse play? No. Had the inspections been going well? Yes. True, they had not resolved any of the open disarmament issues, but in my view, they had gone much too well to be abandoned to justify war."

Another one related to the case that Colin Powell presented to the Security Council about a site in which they held that there had been chemical weapons and that they had seen decontamination trucks. Our inspectors had been there and they had taken a lot of samples, and there was no trace of any chemicals or biological things. And the trucks that we had seen were water trucks.
And, of course, the more spectacular of all was what my friend Mohamed revealed in the Security Council, namely that the alleged contract by Iraq with Niger to import yellow cake, that is uranium oxide, that this was a forgery, and the document had been sitting with the CIA and their U.K. counterparts for a long while, and they had not discovered it. And I think it took the IAEA a day to discover that it was a forgery

Iraq's nuclear weapons program started in the early 1970s and is now ended. This program was effectively halted in 1991 by UN Security Council mandated inspections, before Iraq was able to build a nuclear weapon. Inspections were ended in late 1998 when Saddam Hussein ceased cooperation with inspectors. Saddam Hussein's regime was removed from power in 2003, and no evidence of ongoing nuclear weapons programs has been found as of October 2004.

Ooooooops 3 minuters källkoll, och vilka källor? Kanske ska vi inte lita på dem? Vem skall vi lita på då?
Det måste vara terrorister som mutar de där FN och IAEA, helt klart, för de måste ljuga ju.
The decisions of bureaucracy are frequently reduced to Yes or No answers to drafts submitted to it; the bureaucratic way of thinking has become the secret model for a thought allegedly still free. But the responsibility of philosophical thought in its essential situations is not to play this game. A given alternative is already a piece of heteronomy. - Theodor W. Adorno
