Chiefinspector Hans Blix challenged several Assertions which were given by George W. Bush during his speech.
Blix dispelled any impressions, that his report supports the notion of the US-government to start a war on Saddam Hussein.
He also said, that several statements of George W. Bush in his Speech were false.
He said, it was false (as claimed by Powell) that the Inspectors reported several incidents, where Iraqi officials tried to hide and move illicit materials to prevent their discovery.
Also there hasn´t been convincing evidence, that Iraqui agents were posing as scientists or that Irqui scientists had been sent to Jordan, Syria and other country, to prevent them from being interviewed, as it was mentioned by Bush during his speech.
He also added, that he had no evidence, that the Inspector-Teams had been leaked by Iraqui agents and also no evidence, that there are strong Links between Iraq and Al Quaeda.
Blix said, there are several other countries, which had stronger Links to this Terrorist Organization.
He also challenged Bushs argument, that war is necessary to prevent an attack like Sepember 11 and said, that the world is safer now than it was at the times of cold war, where USA ansd USSR threatened each other with much more Stockpiles of WMDs.
At last he said, that war is not his choice of action and that, if there should be war, it has to be decided by the security council, but he would rather choose disarmament by peaceful mneans.
I believe, George Bush has just lost a large part of his reliability.
Maybe he can gain a little of it again, if Powell shows very strong evidence of WMDs in Iraq.
Time will tell
