Blix wants more information about sarin-filled roadside bomb

Stockholm, Sweden-AP --

He wants to know more. Former U-N weapons inspector Hans Blix is taking a wait-and-see approach, after news that a roadside bomb containing sarin exploded in Iraq.

Brigadier General Mark Kimmitt says the explosion occurred a couple of days ago. And he said he believes the insurgents who set the bomb didn't know it contained sarin.But Blix says it's too soon to determine if the shell was from the past or part of a stockpile of weapons of mass destruction.Blix reported before the beginning of the war in Iraq that his teams were unable to locate proof of deadly weapons. But his inspectors did find 16 warheads that were tagged as being used for containing sarin. They were empty.

The key word we'll be hearing the next few days (if we hear anything) is stockpiles.

Who cares, or doesn't already know, what Blix will conclude?

Let's see...If a chemical munition was made in the past, then it can't be a stockpiled WMD? Will only those made in the future count? If so, it's a good thing we took out Saddam and destroyed all the WMD programs he had!

Blix wants to nix the news that despite the malignant leftist's mantra there weren't WMD in Iraq, they were wrong.

He is such an arrogant jerk. I hope they don't let him near anything and I hope they don't tell him anything.

Just freeze him out.

So much for waiting and seeing.

Sounds like his mind is made up. He is just now looking for facts to back him up.

It doesn't take a stockpile to kill thousands.

Let's ask Hans if he wants to be in the same room with the contencts of that bomb. If he says no, then we will all know that it was sarin.

Will Blix ever admit Iraq was playing hide & seek with the WMD's from the UN inspectors.

Nah! He'll never admit his incompetence and it doesn't fit his worldview.

Blix can drop dead. He is old news - - a failed incompetent.
I wouldn't show him anything. Well..... I'd show him my bare behind, maybe.
No. No, that might be risky....

The two are not mutually exclusive. Binary wepaons have unlimited shelf lifes. Mr Magoo can't see the weapons for the stockpiles.

Who is paying Hans to do this inquiry, and upon whose authority has he the right to investigate? He is complicit in Saddam's subterfuge - the Oil-for-Food records prove that.

Hans - go home... if you can find it.
