MSNBC just had a short clip about the Iraqi drone that the London Times wrote about. It seems that...
the copy of the classified UN document that Powell was reading from when he gave his SC talk did not include the pages referring to the chemical spraying drone that the UN had recently discovered.
Blix said the copy Powell had was only a draft.
Yeah right. Both the draft and Blix's speech overlooked one of the most significant discoveries by the inspectors. Iraq has an previously unknow program to develop chemical srpaying drones.
As far as I am concerned Blix should quit now. He stacked the deck at a critical time.

Powell is on Fox in the morning. Word has it that he's going to break out the 5 gold stars and take no names. He's a little peaved to say the least (way want a transfer back to DOD).

This means we could go to war against Blix and the UN too. Even if Saddam did go into exile, now we have the UN here on home turf...and we need to tell them to leave immediately. Their vested interest is to hurt us.

Both the draft and Blix's speech overlooked one of the most significant discoveries by the inspectors. That settles it. Let's overlook giving advanced notice to the inspectors before we attack.

I don't want to even think about the lives that could have been lost due to Blix and his criminal behaviour! Enough of the UN....it's time to kick a$$!

Blix has lost a great deal of credibility, and anything he presents in the future will be suspect.

I don't think you'll ever see another Blix report at the UN. Just my guess.

Blix represents the U.N. IMHO, the UN/Blix just proved how corrupt they are. Slowly but surely, everyone in the U.S. will learn what a lying bunch of weasels they are.
Bush is finessing this beautifully!

Why does Saddam need a chem spraying drone? Certainly not for self defense. The only question is who he intended to use these against.

Blix should be made a shield by acclimation.Guitfiddlist said: Or haul him along as a battlefield canary. When he stops making excuses for the Iraqis, there must be mustard gas or VX in the air.
Can I make a nomination for quote of the day?

"Powell is on Fox in the morning. Word has it that he's going to break out the 5 gold stars and take no names. He's a little peaved to say the least (way want a transfer back to DOD)." Can you clarify this statement please?

Yes he is and Jack Straw did some mighty fine offensive line work as well. Nice chop blocks and the next play called is the game winner.
