You can see Colin Powell right next to him and he does not look happy!

Blix has never wanted to make Saddam look bad. This is the biggest joke around.

And in the process he is causing Iraqi people their lives .. It is Iraqi blood that Bliz has on his hands

El Baradei is saying that it would be best to conduct the Nuclear Program interviews out of Iraq.

He OBVIOUSLY doesn't feel that they can get Iraqi scientist to talk freely while in Iraq.

This is such a total farce.

He's talking about continued outside pressure to achieve objective

What in hell does Blix have to do with policy? This jacka$$ should give his report and leave the "suggestions" as to what to do with Iraq to the leaders. I'm not interested in his resolution "opinions".

I'd love to slap this guy silly. He's just pushin his libo-socialist agenda.

He does not have 12 days.

He'll be lucky to have 4.

The Japanese embassy emptied out today. It's literally a matter of "everybody outta the pool!"

Months will push us into the Hot Weather there. Not gonna do it....wouldn't be prudent...

And they know it. Delay would give Saddam almost another year, which is what Saddams supporters are shooting for.

I guess i'll have to tell these guys how to do their job. Inspectors are not supposed to chase after the information, but Saddam is supposed to give it to them. That's what the UN resolutions state. Powell will remind them of that when he speaks.

Using the aluminum tubes for rockets is also a material breach.

The same atomic commission that oversaw the North Korean creation of nuclear weapons from the material slick willie provided? Why NK bothered to throw the inspectors out just recently is beyond me, they saw nothing, said nothing, know nothing.

No. I think the President will let the Security council cut it's own throat as well.

That's my dream scenario.

Wipe out Saddam and the UN in one nifty package.

That's damned nice property there on East 42nd Street for a retractable dome stadium.

I love the 200,000 inspecters of-shore waiting to complete the job that Blix would take months to do.

They want to talk to some folks? Inspect some sights? OK tell it to the 101 Airborn and the locations to the 82nd and maybe they will let you talk to them. Can anyone believe the UN?

Interesting guest yesterday on Fox's show with John Gibson. A guy from Sweden (deputy foreign minister, retired, I think) has known Blix for 40 years. He said that Blix was the absolutely wrong person for the job. Among other things he said that he "lacked imagination" and was "easily manipulated." He said some other bad stuff about him , but those were the two things I remember.

I saw that interview, too. He also said, Blix is a very nice guy but that he's nice to everyone and he's strictly a diplomat.

He also mentioned the Iraqui man that tried to get into the U.N. car and was desperate to talk/possibly defect and the guy was pulled from the car and has not been seen since. Blix said of the man, that it was not a very "elegant" way to try to contact the inspectors and Per (forgot his last) name said he couldn't believe that statement. The guy was in fear of his life! In my eyes, Blix allowed that poor man to be killed.

He basically said Blix was not the man for this job! (That's an understatement!)

The US has been telling them since 1441 was approved to have interviews with inspectors outside Iraq and the two morons resisted -- said it wasn't necessary. Now they say "probably" -- these two reports are an insult to a person's intelligence!

As I sit hear and endure listening to this claptrap I'm comforted in the knowledge that this will be one of the last times I'll have to go through this since after today the UN will be HISTORY!

I hope Powell mentions the 27 interviewees who were arrested.
