Blixie, you're as over as Britney. Get lost.

"The more time that has passed, the more I think it's unlikely that anything will be found," Blix said in the interview, which was broadcast on Wednesday.

---------------------------

I think you are right. They weren't there. The WMD was a fraud perpetrated by this administration.

[Just mythoughts]

Now Bill Clinton told us we should listen to Blix. We were warned. Wonder what old Blix has been up to so quiet over the past few months.

[mrobison]

When the WMDs are found in Syria, this clown should be declared an enemy combatant and given a summary military tribunal before his ears are smeared with jelly and he is left, bound, in front of an ant hill.

WHY DIDN'T HE SAY THAT LAST SUMMER????

[LouD]

The issue was not whether Iraq had WMD. The issue was whether the U.S. could be certain that they did not have WMD.

All they had to do was comply with the inspections. Which, by the way, is why Blix is wrong and the Administration will be proven right. Why did Iraq obstruct the inspection process if they had nothing to hide?

[Southack]

It doesn't matter, Hans. Iraq was ordered to show evidence of its destruction of its WMD's.

It didn't. Too bad. There are consequences to such failures.

[TheWriterInTexas]

As of 1991, huh?

Then why the hell were we still finding crap in Iraq as late as 1995?

Blix, you were a bumbling idiot then, and you are a bumbling idiot now!

[smith288]

Oh well... You win some you lose some...Saddam lost some.

[Lunatic Fringe]

[ladyinred]

Either he is lying, or someone set the President up. Gee, wonder which one it is?

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

I'm certain that a thorough inspection of the outlaw, terrorist-sponsor nations of Syria and Lebanon will reveal this to be true. Waiting for the results.

Former U.N. chief weapons inspector Hans Blix now believes Iraq destroyed its weapons of mass destruction 10 years ago and that intelligence agencies were wrong in their weapons assessment that led to war.

I know that's not the case, Blixie, and you know that's not the case, Blixie, but just to humor you let's assume you have good reason to believe they did. Or had good reason until...

...an intact biowarfare R400 bomb was found in Iraq (as recently as Feb 2003 - filled with liquid goodies.)

It's in your report, isn't it, Blixie?

" The Iraqi government claimed to have destroyed all its biological R400 stockpile in 1991, but as proof it provided only the diary of one officer who recounted the destruction of 157 bombs - 100 filled with botulinum toxin, 50 with anthrax and seven with aflatoxin," - "White House scorns bomb find," byJulian Borger and Suzanne Goldenberg, guardian.co.uk , February 25, 2003

"I'm certainly more and more to the conclusion that Iraq has, as they maintained, destroyed almost all of what they had in the summer of 1991," Blix said.

What a load of BS

[stylin19a]

Small minor point...U.N. inspecters weren't kicked out of Iraq...they left under duress.
