Ummm…Mr. Blix, if that was the case, then what was the UN doing trying to inspect Iraq for the last 10 years, levying sanctions on the country and enforcing no-fly zones? Why wasn’t Saddam cooperating with you? Why did you want more and more time to complete your inspections? Why the heck did you yourself claim Iraq violated the sanctions by trying to import missile engines? Why did Iraq refuse to grant any interviews to El Baradei as the same report suggested, if they were hiding nothing?

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Oh Yeah?:
Every intelligence agency in the world - including the French and Germans - was wrong? Poor man is deluded.
And all the weapons were destroyed in 1990-1991? So what was it that even Scott Ritter says he was still finding stockpiles of in 1998? Toothpaste?

Beats me, John - I also wonder why Saddam had to avoid inspections like plague if he had nothing to hide - I guess the man sure liked his little games :smartass:
