Hans Blix on Iraq, the Threat of an Attack on Iran

Hans Blix on Iraq, the Threat of an Attack on Iran (English, about 1 hour, created 409 days ago by vertigo, broadcast date:2008-05-21)

The Bush administration’s claims of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq formed the key justification for the war to Congress, the American people and the international community. As the former chief United Nations weapons inspector in Iraq, Hans Blix was at the center of the storm. From March 2000 to June 2003, Blix oversaw the UN Monitoring, Verification, and Inspection Commission’s 700 inspections at 500 sites in the run-up to the invasion. Blix is currently the chair of the Swedish government’s Weapons of Mass Destruction Commission. His latest book, just published, is Why Nuclear Disarmament Matters. Blix joins DemocracyNow! for the hour from Stockholm, Sweden.
