Heisenberg’s principle at work

CBS News gives this report on Hans Blix’s latest comments:

Chief U.N. inspector Hans Blix criticized the United States for insisting so vehemently that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction and not producing the evidence.

The failure of U.S.-led teams to find illegal weapons after more than two months of searching and visits to over 230 suspected sites has become a major issue. Saddam Hussein’s possession of banned weapons was the main justification the United States and Britain used for invading Iraq.

“It is sort of puzzling I think that you can have 100 percent certainty about the weapons of mass destruction’s existence, and zero certainty about where they are,” he said. “We were more prudent in our assessment and I think that was shown to be pretty wise.”

Yeah, alright, that’s not EXACTLY how Heisenberg put it, but it’s pretty damn close. I say we ignore how fast they’re headed for us, and we’ll be certain to find out where they are.

(Note: Do not misunderstand this post in any way as condoning the belief that Iraqi WMD’s exist. The only ones I believe in are these.)
