Out of Paris: Blix the blithering blunder ping.

I thought this guy was a so-called weapons inspector. I guess he's got an opinion on everything these days....

[murdocj]

Although I don't really agree with the assessment that Iraq is on the verge of an all-out civil war, I do agree that the occupation is humiliating for most Iraqis.

I agree with what we're doing in Iraq, and I think we're doing a pretty good job of it. But the sooner that more Iraqi police and security forces can start playing, the better. Iraq might have been liberated by US and coalition forces, but it needs to be rebuilt with Iraqi hands.

I hear that there are large numbers of Iraqi personnel with the Marines at Fallujah. I hope they're helping in a meaningful way. When Iraqis begin to see Iraqis taking charge, keeping order, and dealing with outlaws, I think we'll start seeing a lot more believers.

Blix must be on the demtalkingpointsmemo fax list.

Maybe that's the reason Hillary keeps making trips to Europe.

[Dr. Frank fan]

Someone please explain to me why people keep interviewing this guy and asking him what he thinks about various things.

The guy is (well, was) a weapons inspector. Period. That is his (supposed) field of expertise. How the hell does that qualify him to sound off on all these other matters of foreign policy, warfare, strategy, civil society, and on and on?

Are we going to be seeing Hans Blix's World Series predictions too?

Seriously, who does this guy think he is? More importantly, who exactly do all these reporters think he is? I don't get it....

Swedish translation urgently needed, "Your fifteen minutes are up."

"but they are all against the American occupation"

Okay, this confirms it. Blix is delusional, and a diehard leftist (sorry for the redundancy). Only leftists believe that a population of 30 million can ALL believe the same thing... you know, like when they all believed that Saddam's 99.999% approval ratings were accurate.

Perfect - Shi'ites ~vs~ Sunnis.

More perfect - Republicans vs Democrats, Hell the US is on the verge of a civil war.

[jungleboy]

"but they are all against the American occupation"...

Amazing how he can have such a keen pulse on the Country!

[Ramius]

You almost gotta wonder if Blix won't show up in the memos when we start tearing into the oil-for-cash fiasco at the UN.

He's acting like an interested party.

[dalebert]

More piling on.

[thoughtomator]

Sigh... I thought I had a pic around that shows Blix looking at an open fridge full of milk, saying "Honey, where's the milk?"... caption "Hans Blix at Home"... if anyone can find it I'd be most appreciative.

[VeniVidiVici]

If Blix is saying this it must be a good thing.

I don't think the old fool has ever been right on anything.

[MNJohnnie]

YAWN! Like why does anyone take this nut seriously? Earlier this week he claims the Iraqis were BETTER OFF under Saddam! This guy is a complete wack job.

[Hildy]

I am so sick of this...every day crap like this is papered across the newspapers. WHERE ARE OUR STORIES..WHERE ARE THE STORIES OF HOW THE PEOPLE LOVE THE AMERICANS BEING THERE. I'm getting so tired, and feeling very defeated.

[RIGHT IN LAS VEGAS]

We, (the USA), doesn't have to maintain order.....

we'll just push the button when we've had enough!

[McGavin999]

I hope that somewhere in the Iraqi archives there is proof that this weasle accepted bribes.
