BLIX NEWS CONFERENCE: "IRAQ MAKING GOOD PROGRESS" [Or: GW WAS CORRECT ABOUT IRAQ'S DECEPTION.]

al news stations | Feb. 9, 2003 | FOX, ABC, CNN

[summer]

TV news stations stopped broadcasting GW's speech to show a taped press conference by Hans Blix about Iraq. Right now there are questions and answers on FOX in a conference that looks live.

[summer]

Prediction: GW's approval rating is about to go sky-high, through the roof because of these developments.

[summer]

On Fox now: "BLIX: IRAQ HANDS OVER INFO ABOUT ANTHRAX, VX, AND BALLISTIC MISSILES."

[abnegation]

The UN ambassador from Spain on Fox is NOT buying this crap either.

Brit Hume: "At 1:30 PM EST there will be another press conference by a scientist from Iraq."

[The Electrician]

This is all so predictable - right out of the Peanuts comic strip. Saddam is playing the role of Lucy, while Blix, the UN, Germany, France, and the Democrats are all playing the role of Charlie Brown. Every time Lucy promises that she won't pull the ball away just before Charlie can kick it, and Charlie swallows the lie every time.

BLIX: "WE FOUND ONE MORE EMPTY WARHEAD TODAY."

[The Wizard]

this could be the two stooges....Iraq is forming committees to look for documents, (which they hid)

That a couple of scientists talked to them IN Iraq, In an Iraq Hotel, but we see progress

[mhking]

Bulls#it.

[abnegation]

You don't think the inspectors will find a "filled" warhead do you?

Hussein plays these UN inspectors like a fiddle. He'll do just enough to ease their minds about fronting for him. They'll march right out to the cameras to praise his new openness and request more delays.

A wise man would say Hussein will never be someone you can trust, the new revelations are proof. The ignorant will always say he still may come clean some day. We'll never all that he has. The Iraqi people need to be liberated. Enough said.

[summer]

Yes, so predictable is what some were saying -- but, for all those people who thought GW was "rushing to war for no reason" well - what the h*ll is gong on here? I thought Saddam was a great guy, who already handed over all info. SO, why, now, does Saddam have all this OTHER stuff to hand over??? (In short: People in US will trust GW more on this matter, the more Iraq hands over more evidence, which, it appears, Iraq has only started doing today.)

[summer]

OK, now the talking heads are starting to say: "Duh, GW WAS right..."

[summer]

The talking heads on tv, that is.

[ChiMark]

And at the same time Ms. Albright is on with Tim Russert giving the old talking points.We're in this mess now because of Clinton and Albright. On 2/17/1998 Clinton Describes Saddam as a Hitler. Thanks for the mess

[DoughtyOne]

My thought is that the naysayers will use this as proof that the inspectors are making headway and are the best option.

[PhiKapMom]

I was watching Fox before I turned off my TV because of the Inspectors and they asked someone from Spain what he thought and he summed it up quite succinctly -- "Saddam Lies" and then went onto say that the Inspectors saying that Saddam is "starting" to open his heart wasn't going to work -- he needed to open it totally! He wasn't buying the UN Inspectors spin one bit!

[texasbluebell]

Senator Pat Roberts of Kansas on Tony Snow now, saying this isn't the A-team of inspectors, though he hesitates to use the term Inspector Clouseau!

[Mossad1967]

I have a feeling that we just might have to go it alone on this one!!!
