That's actually nearly exactly what he says.

I take it you are referring to my comment, "Note that Behe is not saying that it is impossible for an irreducibly complex system to be assembled by known naturalistic means."
Do you disagree that it would be virtually impossible to build such a thing as the flagellum using nothing but slight, successive modifications? The reason the experts postulate mechanisms such as co-option of secrectory systems is that they understand the improbability of slight, successive modifications being up to the job of producing a flagellum from scratch.
PS I've just read your response, Hotshoe, but I've run out of time. I reply when I get a chance.
