UNITED NATIONS (AP) Chief U.N. inspector Hans Blix warned Thursday against jumping to the conclusion that Iraq possesses weapons of mass destruction just because there is a long list of outstanding questions about its weapons program.
Saddam Hussein's regime may have hidden weapons, but it also may have destroyed them, and now that the Iraqi dictator has been ousted ''it should be possible to establish the truth we all want to know,'' he told the U.N. Security Council.

Hurry up Hans and tell us conclusively that Hussein had no threatening WMD programs. Stop prevaricating.

What does this bonehead want, that we should let Saddam back in power so the questions can be answered? Ha ha ha.

No discussions of why Saddam did all he could to hinder the efforts by the inspectors, why he refused to allow flyover surveillance, why he booted the inspectors in 1998, etc.? Lots of pertinent questions unasked.

That knowledge would have ruined his bad-boy image.

That knowledge would have ruined his bad-boy image. You mean he didn't think that mass murders, public beheadings for small transgressions, imprisonment, torture, rape, maiming, etc., would be enough to keep the Arabs from thinking he was a sissy? Heck he was paying millions to journalists, including al Jazeera, for an ongoing PR campaign. You may be right, though. I guess one can't have too much of a good thing.

Mass murders, public beheadings for small transgressions, imprisonment, torture, rape, and maiming are par for the course in the Arab World. But Saddam's WMD put him head and shoulders above the rest.

I dread having to listen to that faggot on TV again with his oh-so-precise germanic english pronunciation. Isn't he supposed to retire this month?
