Blix Hides Discovery Of Undeclared Iraqi Drone!!
The Drudge Report ^ | Marc 7, 2003 | Matt Drudge

Posted on 03/07/2003 9:31:03 PM PST by Dirk McQuickly

A report declassified by the UN yesterday contained the revelation that inspectors have recently discovered an undeclared Iraqi drone with a wingspan of 7.45m, the TIMES OF LONDON is reporting Saturday.

US officials are outraged that Hans Blix did not inform the Security Council about the remotely piloted vehicle in his oral presentation to Foreign Ministers and tried to bury it in a 173-page single-spaced report distributed later in the day.

Blix is paid for and wholly owned by the corrupt UN..

He is and has always been criminally incompetent or corrupt - or both.
THAT is why the UN insisted on BLIX.
Blix was objected to by the US.

We can all thank him, and the other assholes at the UN for bringing about their demise...

Contained in a UN report? Isn't this the incontravertable "smoking gun"? One way to focus national and international media attention on this issue would be for Secretary Powell to give Hans Blix just 72 hours to leave the country. Imagine the uproar . . but then they'd have to explain why!

If it has a warhead it could also be classed as a missile.

Material Breach of UN Resolution 1441, i.e., a weapon of mass destruction.

Bad faith by Blix. This drone "is not a toothpick, it is a lethal weapon" -- indeed a weapon potentially of mass destruction.

Three results at minimal, IMHO: (1) This ought to disqualify Blix from further input. (2) This ought to establish for history the failure of the post- Gulf-war UN policy viz. Iraq, and thus, (3) the impending fullness of the post- cold-war irrelevance of the UN.

Each and every time I see Blix preening before the cameras --- an irresistable urge to bitch slap the bastard, comes over me..

He is the typical dispicable diplomat -- whose lies and failures lead to young men's death.

A pox on the freaking UN.... Bush may have killed it..

Excellent turn of phrase. I hope the administration tears Blixy a new one about this thing. Or better yet, just sic Jack Straw on him.

The pending liberation of Iraq is going to be a 'winner take all' war. Our troops are either going to find a mother lode of WMDs, torture chambers, links to international islamist terrorists, and human rights abuses ... or not.

If our pre-war intelligence reports are right, the UN and the anti-American left will be humiliated and proven irrelevant. If we're wrong, the Bush administration and America's long-term standing in world affairs will suffer the same fate.

Definition of a diplomat: A person who can tell someone to go to hell and make him think he will enjoy the trip.

About the poor bastard that tried to get asylum with the inspectors and was turned back to the authoritiesm and Blix said something like "there are more elegant ways to try to contact us."

Everyone is upset that Bush went to the UN over this whole thing at all. I think it's a stroke of genius. While he temporarily suffers an attack from the American fifth column of socialist/communists, and the disrespect of the leftist media, he gives the UN enough rope to hang themselves for the long term. Those of us with a brain (and guns) are watching.

Just beautiful! Of course, we will have to see what he does with it in the end...

No, I don't think so. I think Blix is working for Germany.
