Blix is thoroughly corrupt. The inspections process is an utter joke.

[MadIvan]

Bump!

Blix couldn't find his tush with both hands.

[mrfixit514]

But how could Saddam do this? He has no weapons of mass destruction. </sarcasm>

Ivan who did the Iraqi's place the order with??

[Lurker]

Dear Saddam,

Beware the Ides of March...

....and a clue.

[BlackJack]

Blix really is a disaster.

[CavScoutNC]

I am almost certain the French would sell Saddam parts for his fleet of UAV. After all, they sell them Mirage parts for their fighters.

After will liberate Iraq and turn N. Korea into a parking lot for Subaru, we should take out France. A well armed Girl Scout Troop should be all that's needed.

Blix is turning out to be a menace.

"Iraq tried to order drones and spray kits (MUST READ!)"

Moral of story: Don't sell any crop-dusting planes to someone you can't trust with your life.

"Blix couldn't find his tush with both hands."

I wish I could make myself believe he's just stupid. Alas, I'm convinced he's in the employ of someone else, and is being very well-paid.

[jwalsh07]

Yep, I see him as a dangerous man invested in his position on the world stage with no thought at all to the 250,000 Americans and Brits losing their edge in theatre.

[guitfiddlist]

Not to worry. Hansi has a likely answer:

"As with the aluminum tubes, there is absolutely no evidence that Iraq planned to use these for WMD's. Rather, we are convinced that Iraq planned to use these to accomplish a quantum leap in agricultural pesticide control - using Mirage Fighter jet drones and other-purpose built dissemination UAV's."

"We should applaud the ingenuity of Iraqi scientists in their desire to advance the science of crop-dusting, by automating the aircraft and speeding up the process by a factor of ten. Now if you'll excuse me, I must verify deposits to my Swiss bank account."

[Dog Gone]

Saddam will have no hesitation in using drones to spray anthax or other agents. He's gassed his own people.

Spraying Brits or Americans would pose no moral dilemma for him.

[Amelia]

To the fury of British and American officials the disclosure was buried deep in his 173-page report and not mentioned in an oral presentation to foreign ministers.

Heaven forbid that Blix would tell the world about this. /sarcasm

I'm with my students: the heck with the U.N., let's just get it on & get it over with.

**Alas, I'm convinced he's in the employ of someone else, and is being very well-paid.**

Agreed.

[Dog]

What else is in that report we don't know about..

[Howlin]

Amen!

[Howlin]

Spraying Brits or Americans would pose no moral dilemma for him.

And don't forget, the Germans don't care.
