AND CNN didn't cover the WMD's today, either.
Neither did MSNBC or CNBC, even though the market had tanked from the two terrorist attacks over the weekend. It gapped down on the open, and started to turn around when Fox News was bringing on all of these experts about Sarin gas, mustard gas, artillery shells, binary explosions (needs to be shot out of a cannon to make the two chemicals mix, and make the really destructive Sarin gas) and about how difficult it is to find anything in Iraq because Saddam had so long to hide it.
There was suppostion that these artillery shells have been hidden in "safe houses" - and how would Blix have never found them IF they were in houses.
I also heard that these had been hidden before the first Gulf War. Yikes - so many chances for Blix to have found them, so few actual finds. What WAS Blix doing over there?
I have this idea of how he sat in a hotel and sent out worker-bees, and he never went out there himself, or worked the gossip or rumor chains to find out where any of this stuff was. Yeah, great investigative searcher he was. NOT.
Yeah, I have that same picture in my mind. Blixie waiting around. Looks in every place they TELL him he can look in. "Nope, there's nothing there."
***What WAS Blix doing over there? ***
Blix was retiring after the weapons search last year in Iraq. I think he was trying to draw it out as long as possible to get as much money, publicity, etc. out of it as it was his last job. If he would have actually FOUND the weapons, his job would have been over. By not finding anything, he thought he could draw it out for months or even years--as had been done in the past.
