Blix has stated that Iraq is in violation and is not cooperating. He has in his report how this might be handled.

Well, the U.S. has a plan how this might be handled, too...

[jwalsh07]

Did he answer the simple question of wether or not Iraq has disarmed yet?

[boxerblues]

hans needs months not days!! what a crook of bull

[PhiKapMom]

DITTOS!!!!!

[Otta B Sleepin]

He wants "months" to keep at it

[Wait4Truth]

I wonder if Blix will report on the scientists that we just arrested by Saddam? ... or if they are still alive?

He is giving a total whitewash of the entire issue. I can't wait to hear Powell. Blix has never wanted to make Saddam look bad. This is the biggest joke around.

[bvw]

Blix -- to conclude, we'll be providing a longer report -- how much time to resolve disarmanent tasks. Will take time, even with "proactive" Iraqi attitude. Not Years, months.

[steveegg]

Don't you know they are freaking out wondering just when all hell is going to break loose?

That's a good sign.

[Afronaut]

That is Eddie Murpgy right? in the white?

[Terriergal]

Food tasting labs...what are those, Good Humor trucks?

It was food TESTING labs. Not *quite* as silly sounding, but still quite improbable.

[areafiftyone]

Food tasting mobile labs... is he kidding me....

Actually these were "Curry in a Hurry" trucks!

[Dolphy]

Blix is a decade too late. He's talking about continued outside pressure to achieve objective, it would take months. What an ass...the US is not going to allow 200,000 of our troops to be used by idiots and their childish plans.

[Dionysius]

Blix couldn't find his mother in a roomful of robots! This excruciatingly pathetic and painful farce has gone on long enough. Is there not one solitary bit of intelligence left in the entirety of the UN? We have to get out of the UN and into Iraq -- now! Damn the torpedoes...!

[hobbes1]

Unfortunately, the President gave him DAYS.


NOt Weeks, Not Months, Not Years.




DAYS.

[Miss Marple]

Ugh. Buried in this was the answer "no" they aren't immediately disarming but they are trying to work faster and besides you can't disarm immediately anyway.

What a crock.

I hope Powell blasts him out of the water.

[rep-always]

AAAARRRRRGGGG is right. If we don't go in there soon, I'm going to have a real, honest to goodness breakdown. I mean it I cannot stand this Blix and all the other clowns sitting there.

[goldylight]

This Guy BLix is a huge joke.

[A Citizen Reporter]

Based on what the Fox commentator just said, I'm asuming that other resolution is a way for Blixie to ask for more time.

[houston_matt]

Is ElBaradei the shiftiest bastard you've ever seen or what?
