Blix warns of WMD vicious circle (The US must abandon its "war on terror" --Hans says)

The US must abandon its "war on terror" to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, according to the former United Nations' chief weapons inspector, Hans Blix.

The US foreign policy of pre-emptive strikes against any perceived weapons of mass destruction (WMD) threat, its development of new types of nuclear weapons and the "Star Wars" missile defence shield risked fuelling a new global arms race, said Dr Blix.

Dr Blix's warning came in a report, released yesterday, proposing ways to bring about global nuclear, biological and chemical disarmament.

The report by the independent international Weapons of Mass Destruction Commission (WMDC) said the September 11 terrorist attacks and the subsequent war on terror have led to the stagnation and abandonment of international cooperation on WMD monitoring and disarmament. In what will be seen as thinly veiled reference to the 2003 Iraq war, the report said unilateral military action had failed to stem the threat of WMD, with the cost of many lives.

Could someone please remind me, why, oh, why are we even talking to the UN, much less why are we binding ourselves to their corrupt, terrorist-supporting decisions?

[Enchante]

Can anyone tell me why Hans Blix, snivelling socialist weasel extraordinaire, was ever allowed anywhere near investigations of illicit WMD programs in Iraq, Iran, etc.??? Oh, that's right, we're talking about the pathetic UN and the puerile IAEA......... Blix was a hero to both organizations.

In a pigs eye Blix.

[CheyennePress]

Did anyone notice how the cutesies over at the Guardian referred to him as Dr. Blix? As if that lent him credibility. Precious, really. That's the first I've ever even seen that.

Moammar Qaddafi was just a fluke huh?

The purpose of the Military is to defend the Constitution. Blix just wants ours rendered ineffective, because he doesn't like the US Constitution. His interest is in the UN.

Politics is the only reason...if notd worse... the appearance of 'good politics'...

[sheik yerbouty]

The UN/ FM! Ignorance is Blix..

[FlingWingFlyer]

It sounds like Hans has been into the wacky mushrooms again.

[Taxman]

And, why are we still funding this corrupt institution?

If these idiots believe the US should abandon its "war on terror," perhaps they should ask themselves what the world would look like if the Muslim death cult were the only "religion" allowed to exist on the face of the earth.

If the US abandons the war on terror, the Muslim death cult will eventually prevail. We must not allow that to happen.

I say we keep on killingem until there are none left to kill. Then we can abandon the war on terror!

As if a new global arms race would be bad:

That way we can afford it, and we get more secure, and countries which can not afford it will have to increase freedom to grow their economy to be able to compete.

[Stultis]

Yeah, Hans, the correct response to fanatical mass-murdering fascists is nonthreatening passivity. I mean, isn't it obvious? (Stupidity of this magnitude is just sad.)
