The United Nation's chief weapons inspector has defended his team over suggestions they failed to do their job in Iraq.

US officials have found thousands of chemical protection suits at an Iraqi military base in Nasiriya, along with a chest full of the nerve gas antidote atropine.

Chief weapons inspector Dr Hans Blix says the coalition forces are at an advantage compared to weapons inspectors in Iraq: "The Americans have one advantage over UNMOVIC, in discovering things and that is as they go around the country and more areas are under their control it seems likely that people scientists engineers military will be more ready to speak to the Americans, than they were to us because when we were there they still had the formidable police apparatus that would scare them from saying the truth, if the truth was any different from what the government said."

Blix: "Us can get to more places than we can to find WMDs".
Ha. Ha.

[Thane_Banquo]

Blix: I'm a failure.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Blix is a total crock. He intentionally buried a serious inspection violation in some back appendix of his last report of Iraqi violations because he didn't think anybody would actually bother to read it. Guess what, sucker, you didn't fool anybody! Blix is a total joke.

[znix]

Blix drives me crazy. His statements just get under my skin.

"...seems likely that people scientists engineers military will be more ready to speak to the Americans, than they were to us because when we were there they still had the formidable police apparatus that would scare them from saying the truth..."

no kidding

but then he adds this:

"...if the truth was any different from what the government said."

ugh!

[tuckrdout]

Thus, Mr. Blix, why this war was needed! Exactly why you would never, ever find the WMD, even if you had 1,000 years!

[Young Rhino]

The Americans have one advantage over UNMOVIC

Yeah. We are actually looking to find WMDs.

[wingster]

Blox is such an idiot!

Duh! Of course we have greater access! HELLO!! Earth to Blox! Thus the continual suggestions and implications of complete and utter ineffectiveness of the U.N. inspections!

Me thinks that Blox's best strategy is to go somewhere far, far away and never open his mouth to the media again. Every time he does shame and humiliation accrue!

[dighton]

He couldn't find Anita Ekberg's talents with two hands.

[jamndad5]

Where did you find the urinator?
This is outstanding!

[Chummy]

Blix: "The inspections were not working. The inspections would never work."

"The Americans have one advantage over UNMOVIC, in discovering things and that is as they go around the country and more areas are under their control it seems likely that people scientists engineers military will be more ready to speak to the Americans, than they were to us because when we were there they still had the formidable police apparatus that would scare them from saying the truth, if the truth was any different from what the government said."

Oh, ok. But when Bush said that inspections cannot work if Iraq does not cooperate, then it was wrong.

[Minty]

But but he aid that they could find things better... that that people wopuld talk to them more openly than to our kids.... I don't understand anymore.... Just kidding!

[WKB]

I can't believe this hasn't been posted:

Ignorance is Blix

[BIGZ]

Blix is a lawyer! Why would his statements be logical?

A shame that he is not a United States citizen, he could run for congress, he would fit right in.

[stylin19a]

Did any ask Blix what he would have done, had his inspectors found the same stuff ?

[B4Ranch]

So true! So true!

[Diddley]

ROFL
I'll be glad when I learn to use graphics.

[Torie]

I am waiting for Blix to claim he did all he could have possibly done, as opposed to being a tool of the Franco-German strategy, and that he does it in a deposition context. Granted, that will be a long wait.

[Right Angler]

Hey, no fair! Those big cheater-pants Americans are actually looking for WMD's!

Geesh, what a buffoon...
