As usual, please no HUGE graphics

When the interpretor speaks, some audio dude has the balance all screwed up. I can hardly hear the translation over the original.

[PhiKapMom]

Not only did he not say Iraq was not complying with 1441 but he whitewashed everything worse than before.

IMO this was the worst report to date!

What a waste of time and money to have this Moron as the Chief Weapons Inspector who is all about appeasement!

[Otta B Sleepin]

Would make a good RAT Senator!

Had the same thought myself. Lots of similarities.

[carton253]

must have been his accent... I really did think he said tasting.

[Wait4Truth]

President Bush is not going to stand for this crap. He made that clear last night. Time's up.

[JFC]

Hey Guys... REMEMBER SCOTT RITTER!!!!

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ To blix as well from Saddam

[mhking]

Blix -- to conclude, we'll be providing a longer report

"The word is no. I am therefore going anyway."

[hobbes1]

Months will push us into the Hot Weather there.



Not gonna do it....wouldn't be prudent...

[cyncooper]

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

Yes. He said they have not--noting the missile destruction that he even acknowledged has not continued. But! More inspectors and surveillance planes will help find more proscribed weapons.

[PogySailor]

Blah, I've heard all I need to hear of this whitewash. "We hope Iraq...Iraq should..."

One question Mr. Blix: Has Iraq disarmed as required under 1441? No?

Time to roll!

[goldylight]

of what origin is ElBaradei?

[Torie]

This "report" was an exception to the rule that brevity is the soul of wit. Blix said almost nothing of any substance.

[bvw]

I can hardly understand his clipped speech.

[carton253]

He's Arab.

[mhking]

DAYS.

What you bet this is rapidly shifting toward HOURS?

[tomkat]

[PhiKapMom]

You and me both -- I cannot take much more of "diplomacy" because I have had it!

The UN is IRRELEVANT!!!

[RummyChick]

as predicted, I didn't remember anything Mr. Magoo's monotone said. I had to rely on FNC who says he gave Saddam a pass.

Like we didn't know that ahead of time :-)

[OldFriend]

Blix caught in the middle between Anan and Saddam......and loving EVERY minute of it!

[countrydummy]

I totally agree with you! His report was hogwash! Time to get out of the UN and time to protect our soil...NOW!
