Hans Blix calls Bush and Blair "Salesmen"

[Mari333]

HEIDELBERG, Germany (AP) - The former top U.N. weapons inspector in Iraq called President Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair ``salesmen'' Sunday for their handling of information in the lead-up to war.

Hans Blix criticized the two leaders for attacking Iraq even though his U.N. inspection teams made no significant finds in their search for Saddam Hussein's alleged weapons of mass destruction - the main justification for the U.S.-led invasion.

``We as voters in a democracy expect critical thinking, and that politicians be very precise in the question of starting a war,'' Blix said in a speech to 500 members of the American-European Friendship Club in Heidelberg.
