Hans Blix: the $64 million man
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..
