Blix Hides Discovery Of Undeclared Iraqi Drone!!
The Drudge Report ^ | Marc 7, 2003 | Matt Drudge

Posted on 03/07/2003 9:31:03 PM PST by Dirk McQuickly

A report declassified by the UN yesterday contained the revelation that inspectors have recently discovered an undeclared Iraqi drone with a wingspan of 7.45m, the TIMES OF LONDON is reporting Saturday.

US officials are outraged that Hans Blix did not inform the Security Council about the remotely piloted vehicle in his oral presentation to Foreign Ministers and tried to bury it in a 173-page single-spaced report distributed later in the day.

Yep, we need to go in for sure and it is ashame that the UN stopped the 91 potential removal of Suddam.

How many died for that UN decision?

Thanks, Grampa Dave.

Outstanding quote, river rat.

Definitely deserved the honor it received as "Quote of the Day."

I had some naive faith that Blix was just an uninformed ditz...well, it is clear now that Blix is willfully hiding evidence.

Has the WH released any statements on this....all I hear is that we are "mad," but nobody has said a dang thing in public yet. Why the heck not?

There's just one thing still bothering me, Mr. Blix. Why would anyone need a cropduster in the middle of the desert?

One might say Dubya Bush is the Lt. Columbo of American Presidents.

"Excuse me, Mr. Blix, just one more thing. . . . Where did you put Mr. Hussein's drone? . . . Oh, yes, he had one and I happened to notice one just like it was on your desk when I was here yesterday. . . . Yes, I see. Well, I won't bother you anymore. I ought to be going, my wife is making meatballs tonight. . . . Oh, just one more thing . . ."

One thing which seems to be utterly lacking in the Coalition of the Billing's military scheme is the Element of Surprise.

One third of our Marine force is currently sitting in a postage stamp size country within the range of buzz bombs
carrying loads of chemical and biological poisons. If this force should be lost in a pre-emptive Iraqi attack, this Presidency is fini.

*****

This risk is why setting any kind of deadline at this point is utterly irrelevant. There is a clear and present danger to U.S. forces. What was that famous line--"You may fire when ready, Mr. Griddly."

"One thing which seems to be utterly lacking in the Coalition of the Billing's military scheme is the Element of Surprise."

Another way to look at is, it's a brazen "in your face", I'm close and reachable - I'm here to destroy you......and you in spite of all your bluster, are incapable of doing anything about it...

An invasion force is at his door step....and the most damage they could do is to send some suicide shooters to take some cheap shots at unarmed men in a car...

The myth of Arab unity, Arab courage, Arab chivalry is just that a myth.... Their attacks are against the unsuspecting, the unarmed, the civilians, the children -- and for the most part, their attacks are by lunatics or young fanatics that have been brain washed or drugged to commit suicide....

Saddam and ANY force that stands against America is going to receive an ass kicking that will hurt for an eternity..

The criminal and evil forces in the world, are no longer dealing with the traitorous criminal Clinton and his destructive democrats...

There is a Texas Ranger on duty now.....And, he's pissed off.

Semper Fi

Actually, saw one this past year dusting a field somewhere between Phoenix and Tucson. Last October to be exact, probably would have never registered except for 9.11 and related news.

I just believe the guy is a coward - but quite frankly he shouldn't have the responsibility of starting, or staving off military action in Iraq. I believe the "leaders" of the world are not excersizing their authority and responsiblity here.... and trying to put the blame on Blix.

Blix is just an inspector - not a leader, not a politician. I think Bush understands this - I don't think anyone else does.
