UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Russia's U.N. ambassador said late on Monday his country was never sure Iraq (news - web sites) had weapons of mass destruction, despite assertions from former U.S. arms inspector David Kay that "we were almost all wrong."



The furor over whether Iraq possessed unconventional weapons, a justification for the U.S.-led war, recently flared again after Kay said he believed there were no large stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons in Iraq.


Russian ambassador Sergei Lavrov, at his annual meeting with the press, said that Russian officials repeatedly maintained they did not have enough information.


"We said that we don't have information which would prove that the WMD, weapons of mass destruction, programs remain in Iraq. We also said we don't have information that those programs have been fully stopped," Lavrov said.

2. France and Russia were right, The UN was right.

The millions of protesters who took to the streets in opposition to the upcoming invasion of Iraq were right. Seems it as just the bushies and Blair who got it wrong.

3. Bush and Blair didn't get it wrong

They knew what they were doing by creating the lies they created. What they did was deliberate.

I hope their lies bring them to their knees and a life behind bars.

4. junior & Blair absolutely knew and did create the lie!

If the people of the UK and the U.S. let these two criminals get away with these crimes. Then the people are truly worthy of the types of government they have.
