| Hans Blix: the $64 million man | |
| 2003-04-05 | |
| Chief U.N. weapons inspector Hans Blix said Friday that he would be interested to learn whether Iraq has chemical, biological or nuclear weapons. Now you're interested? What the hell were you doing before? Vacationing? "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 One step at a time Blixie. "That is the $64 billion question today. We were the $64 million question, because that was what we cost per year," he said, referring to the U.N. weapons inspection team. And worth none of that money. "And with 200,000 men there and $64 billion, I hope [the coalition] finds [weapons], if there are any," Blix added in a reference to the approximate amount that President Bush asked Congress to provide for war funding. If Iraq does have weapons of mass destruction, Blix said, he doesn't believe Baghdad would use them against coalition troops. "My guess ... is that they would not because ... there are many people who were critical towards the war and felt that this was too sudden or that it was too brutal, and if [Iraq] did use any chemical weapons now, people would say, 'So, they were liars. They lied about this and there was a justification for the intervention,'" Blix said. Huh? Ok Blixie go back to sleep now. Newsflash: they always were liars. If you didn't see that before then...well.. oh why bother..

| #6 There are no Americans at Baghdad Airport. You think they are there but they are not. It's just another bloody lie. But our suicide squads are out to blow the non existant Americans up There are no WMD in Iraq. You think they are there but they are not. It's just another bloody lie. But our suicide squads.... This special message was brought to you by the Iraqi Information Minister. |

| #5 I understand Swedish lawyer jive; let me translate. What Blix is saying is that if you want a politically correct whitewash "inspections" process, then it'll cost you $64M per year for every year that the charade goes on. But if you REALLY want to get rid of Saddam's weapons, well...that comes a little more expensive. |

| #3 Oh how I'd love to see someone paint a little "Kilroy was here" on that giant Saddam portrait the InfoMin stands next to. Something subtle... maybe peaking over his shoulder. |

| #2 How can you even deal with this mentality... the question of security and war depends on whether or not Iraq officially tell lies. HUH? |
