WARNING: US will plant evidence of Weapons of Mass Desctruction in Iraq
The fact that the US has denied UN inspectors back in, even at the urging of UN Inspector Hans Blix, suggests the US will plant evidence of WMDs in order to retroactively justify the invasion and occupation of Iraq.

WASHINGTON (AFP) - One thousand US experts will scour Iraq (news - web sites) for weapons of mass destruction, a US defense official said amid questions about the US failure to find banned weapons and mounting calls for the return of UN inspectors.
"Digging it out, ferreting it out is going to take some time," said the official, who asked not to be identified. "It's going to be difficult, it's not going to be a cakewalk."
The United States and Britain used accusations of a hidden weapons of mass destruction program as the primary justification for invading Iraq. But so far no chemical, biological or nuclear weapons have been officially reported.
Hans Blix, the chief UN weapons inspector, has suggested sending back UN inspectors. Blix told the BBC on Thursday they would give the world a "credible report on the absence or the eradication of the program of weapons of mass destruction."
The White House, however, has said it was not yet time to discuss the return of UN inspectors, and the large-scale US effort signalled that the United States wants to conduct its own search.

I think you are right on with that. I've been thinking that since a while. Soon they will find their WMDs, nicely fabricated. The USA just can't take the embarressment to have created all this mess for false accusations.
How dishonorable this all is!

For sure!
Like every independent thinking person in the world, the news that 1000 "US experts" would be heading to Iraq in search of WMD is too amusing for mere words.
There has been plenty of time now for the CIA or some Israeli agent to plant these weapons (as the US has so much weaponry it can easily afford to plant some from its arsenol).
No matter what they "FIND" or otherwise not find, no one should pay any attention to it. After all, the UN inspectors spent four months finding nothing, and the only way the US will find them now is if they are planted.
No wonder the US won't allow UN inspectors back. What a despicable bunch of criminals this administration is.

Hans Blix, Butler's successor who pulled his team out of Iraq before the US-led invasion, said his inspectors could be back in Iraq within two weeks. The US has said it prefers to do the job itself.
"So far they have not found any weapons of mass destruction," Blix said. "I think at some stage they would like to have some credible international verification of what they find."
