Couldn't find anything on the Web, yet, but Fox News just had someone on who was explaining that the new head of MI-6, who had been in charge of the WMD investigation by British Intelligence, found extensive documentation of people on Saddam's payroll...including two of Hans Blix's subordinates. Apparently Saddam knew exactly where all of Hans's blind spots were and shipped 408 of his nuclear scientists over to Libya, where Qaddafi supplied a hollow mountain (among other things).

When a videotape documenting the evidence was shown to Qaddafi, he folded...in part because the jig was up, in part because he wasn't going to be receiving any financing for those 408 highly-paid scientists living in his country.

Hope Chappaquiddick Ted chokes on this one...

Apparently W. got the intelligence in late 2001 and decided that we couldn't risk the Islamofascists going nuclear.

Hope this hits the MSM soon...at least enough print media to leave a trail of slime across the face of all the naysayers, from the Gray Lady to the Senate.

Won't be surprised if Scott Ritter's name comes up as being paid by Saddam.

I caught the tail end of this - the guy's name is John Loftis. Where have I heard his name before?

Well now, will wonders never cease. What else will come slithering out from under this rock of corruption?

Will the media be able to cover this up? It's a huge and very interesting story. Well, we'll see. I'll bet they TRY to cover it up. They've invested far too much of their credibility in "no WMDs" to let mere facts stand in their way.

This kind of thing certainly kills the pretense that the media neglect certain stories because they don't increase ratings or circulation. That's a load of horse manure. Think of all the newspapers they could have sold with the Chinese treason story.

Or, for that matter, with human interest stories about the good work our troops are doing in Iraq. Even the American deaths would have far more meaning if they were seen as the deaths of heroes rather than as proofs that Bush is a bad president. But, no. The media are too far gone to change without some sort of huge blowup.

Don't you realize that 'dressing terrorists in woman's panties', is much more CATASTROPHIC than Middle Eastern terrorists getting Nukes? Fox news may just be the ONLY news outlet you hear this from and the print media will bury it in a one paragraph story on page F-47.

Fantastic news.

It looks like all of them were on the take.

Can Hans Blix Be Trusted?

By Reed Irvine and Cliff Kincaid | March 20, 2003 Saddam was obsessed with procuring weapons of mass destruction— chemical and biological warheads as well as atomic bombs and the missiles to deliver them.

The members of the U.N. Security Council who are against going to war in Iraq say that the inspectors working under Hans Blix must be given more time to verify that Saddam Hussein has not carried out his promise to destroy all his weapons of mass destruction. The U.S. and Britain say that he has not done so and is in violation of Resolution 1441. France wants Blix and his inspectors to decide if Iraq has complied with the Security Council resolutions.

This was not the intention of the Security Council. Moreover, serious questions have been raised about Mr. Blix's integrity. He failed to mention in his oral report to the Council the discovery of a drone with a very large wingspan that made it illegal. This violation was buried in his lengthy written report. We had been warned last November that Blix should not be trusted to carry out the search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Per Ahlmark, a former deputy prime minister of Sweden, wrote an article titled "Sending in a Dupe to Disarm Saddam."

Ahlmark had been Blix's boss in 1960. He had followed his career closely since then, observing him as Sweden's foreign minister for a year and later as director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna. Ahlmark described Blix as amiable but "politically weak and easily fooled." He said, "I can think of few European officials less suitable for a showdown with Saddam.

He went on to say that when Blix headed the IAEA before the Persian Gulf war, he assured the world, after several inspections, that nothing alarming was happening in Iraq. He gave Saddam the report he had hoped for when he began hiding his atomic factories and nuclear ambitions. Ahlmark reminded us that Saddam was obsessed with procuring weapons of mass destruction— chemical and biological warheads as well as atomic bombs and the missiles to deliver them. Former experts of Iraq's nuclear weapons program, who have escaped to the West, have confirmed this.

Blix, whose field was international law, worked with Swedish ambassador Rolf Ekeus, as one of the leaders of the U.N. disarmament inspectors. Ahlmark claims that Blix was easily fooled by the Iraqis because he was unfamiliar with technical details. He says that David Kay, a highly-skilled inspector, discovered material confirming that Iraq was only twelve to eighteen months away from producing a nuclear device.

How did Blix end up heading the current U.N. inspection team? Ahlmark says that in 1999 Rolf Ekeus and Hans Blix were among the candidates and that experts in the field were for Ekeus. He said they described Ekeus as "brilliant," and Blix as "terrible." He says that France and Russia consulted Baghdad to see whom Saddam would prefer, and they ended up supporting Blix. The Clinton administration went along with them. Ahlmark warned that the U.N. "neglected its duties by asking a wimp to lead the inspectors who are supposed to stand up to the brute of Baghdad."

Is it possible that the entire world/UN and even the democrats are out to neuter the USA economically, politically and militarily? Seems a fix may be in:)

A few links to articles (ranging from 1998 to 2001) that show Iraq's ties to Sudan and Libya, especially in regards to WMD development.

All,

Please check out these two links. There is a lot of information, from various mainstream news sources that are reliable. Some of the info will knock your socks off!

It seems like there are some 'infiltraitors' among us; comparing the likes of the muslum 'American' soldier that threw a very deadly grenade, to what may be some photographically inclined prison guard 'American' soldiers or contractors, I agree that the concept of enemy infiltration should not be left off the table for any realistic assessment to the current war.

Hmmmmm, the lamestream slime media is still talking about terrible Rummy, our terrible soldiers and our terrible nation 24/7. Should we hold our breath?

[savedbygrace]

Can hardly wait to hear Blix' response to this news. Surely ABC, NBC, and CBS will be falling over each other to get an exclusive with our good buddy Hans . . . right?
