But lying about this stuff does fit a particular model.

Blix did not reject Saddam's documentation. He noted there were discrepancies in
some the figures Saddam used in his documentation and the figures Blix
thought he should have been using based on past inspections and the figures
produced by Saddam at that time. Nothing more.

It is of note, of course, that the Americans have discovered nothing to
invalidate Saddam's figures. But then they have discovered nothing at all
to validate Bush's claims. At this point, if only in retrospect, it is
obvious that
Saddam was being truthful for the most part and Bush was not being truthful
about anything. In short, it is now evident that Saddam has more
credibility than Bush has. That's going some, isn't it?
