STOCKHOLM, Sweden (CNN) -- Chief U.N. weapons inspector Hans Blix said Friday that he would be interested to learn whether Iraq has chemical, biological or nuclear weapons.

Disarming Iraqi President Saddam Hussein of such weapons was one reason the United States and Britain gave for invading the Persian Gulf nation.

I am sure we will soon be able to satisfy his curiosity! But didn't even he find some chemical weapon artillery shells when he was in Iraq?

Maybe, he ought to drink some Iraqi water from the river, before he speaks.

Blix spent months searching the gay bars and brothels of Baghdad and found no WMD's.

Let's just suppose that we don't find any chemical weapons. I mean just for argument sake, suppose that Iraq decided awhile back to rid itself of chemicals and biologicals -- maybe with the hope of getting sanctions lifted or something.

What then?

The A-rab(ble)s will be upset at us, obviously. Tony Blair will probably lose office. And the Europeans will have a big "I told you so."

But would it really matter? Would it matter to our post-war plans, to our ability to conduct future wars of liberation in the middle east?

"Now we are curious, we are the most curious of all to know, are the Americans and Brits and others going to find some weapons of mass destruction?" Blix said

Be careful what you wish for Hans baby. You may get it.

These weapons will be found. And when they are...The Americans and the Brits (That's "The British" to you, you fecal speck!) are going to ram them down so far down your throat that the Sun will shine up your arse.

A seminar of kindergarten students?

Who else would even bother to listen to this fool.

Probably not too much. See previous thread here http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/885720/posts

The mass graves will provide sufficient justification.

But I think we will find the WMD anyway.

Was not Herr Blix also the inspector in charge of inspections 10 years ago or so in North Korea. I'm not hallucinating, right?

Why waste a perfectly good pidgin to see if the chemical materials found are toxic, when we have a perfectly worthless Blix to use in its place.

It's a shame he wasn't curious when he had the opportunity to do something about it.

This smarmy SOB says he is curious, with contemptuous sarcasm dripping from his mouth.

He was curious ----and yellow. That's why we have 250,000 weapons inspectors on the ground in Iraq.

This UN syncophant needs to be drop kicked back to Sweden.
