I heard this interview and he is an ignorant scum who will be totally discredited after the war is over (hopefully.)

I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry at this amount of stupidity on his part. Certainly, it's clear why the French liked him.

Hans Blix expressed surprise

This guy is got to be the most gullible fool the UN could have hired. I'm sure it was for that purpose!

That's funny. Yesterday he openly speculated that Iraq would not use chemical weapons because it would turn public opinion against him.

Guess Blix thought public opinion was with Saddam, but that's beside the point. Yesterday he was very willing to speculate.

And last week he speculated that the environment is more of a concern than Iraq.

Ignorance is Blix.

This is like saying "well we saw dead bodies stacked up, but we are not sure if the Germans were really trying to kill all the Jews". What a schmuck. Go back to france or whatever commie country you are from dirtbag Blix.

I heard him say he did not think Iraq would use chemical or biological weapons.
