Someone please explain to me why people keep interviewing this guy and asking him what he thinks about various things.

The guy is (well, was) a weapons inspector. Period. That is his (supposed) field of expertise. How the hell does that qualify him to sound off on all these other matters of foreign policy, warfare, strategy, civil society, and on and on?

Are we going to be seeing Hans Blix's World Series predictions too?

Seriously, who does this guy think he is? More importantly, who exactly do all these reporters think he is? I don't get it....

PSSST! .. Let's Do All We Can.. To Weaken The U.S. And Protect Terrorism....

It is humiliating when arrogant, condescending foreigners with nothing personal at stake in the outcome, see fit to give unsolicited advice to people in the middle of a difficult situation. It can make those people very angry.

Blix may want to stay well away from the United States for the remainder of his miserable life.

Being defensive and withdrawn is the surest way to have fingers pointed at you, it's an old tactic of the left.

Blix must go on the offensive because he is directly responsible for the war in Iraq for failing to do his job as weapons inspector.

Richard Clarke must go on the offensive because he is directly responsible for 9/11, he spent billions of dollars on national security and not a nickel on stopping legally boarded passengers with box cutters from crashing into buildings.

They had to run Wesley Clark for president because he is a war criminal responsible for siding with bin Laden to commit genocide on the Serbs and one of the most failed generals in US history. The scandal would have come to a head by now otherwise.

When you are "out there" and on the offensive, the finger pointers stand behind you. I don't completely know the psychology behind it but it is the case.

Cheney reentered the public eye about a month ago and all of the halliburton stuff and anti-Cheney rhetoric died down.

Seriously, who does this guy think he is? More importantly, who exactly do all these reporters think he is?

He's "the former Swedish foreign minister and longtime diplomat"

The big question is, "Why did they ever decide he was a weapons inspector?"

I would like to know what his special expertise in that technical area is.
