| News Flash - Hans Blix Endorses JFK For President |
| 2004-05-30 |
| Surprise meter’s still busted... Hans Blix has never made a secret of his opposition to the war in Iraq, but recently the former chief U.N. weapons inspector and Swedish diplomat has dropped all pretense of, well, diplomacy. His frequent public statements are confirming that the Bush Administration was right to suspect that he was so opposed to the war that he’d have given Saddam Hussein the benefit of every doubt and more in order to prevent it. Mr. Blix told a Danish newspaper last month that Iraqis have suffered more from the war than they did under the reign of Saddam Hussein. In a recent interview with a French newspaper, he said President Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair "may have been sincerely convinced there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq like some were convinced of the existence of witches in the 18th century." In a speech in Chicago in March, he said the war in Iraq has only made the threat of terrorism worse. And he recently dismissed as no big deal the explosion in Iraq of a roadside bomb containing sarin gas. No big deal, because there are no stockpiles, right? Then on Tuesday a friend sent us the following excerpt from an interview published Monday in the Italian newspaper La Stampa: Q: "Are you tracking the U.S. Presidential campaign?"Can I vote on how much duct tape should be wrapped around your mouth? Mr. Kerry remarked in March that foreign leaders were privately supporting his candidacy. Mr. Blix has now revealed the kind of foreigners he was referring to. The ignorant, terrorist enabling type. |

| #9 Notice that no one in the press every cites John FORBES Kerry's middle name? It's not like he comes from some special Northeastern power elite or whatever you want to call it. |

| #6 And in any event, I think that the whole world should vote on 2 November because so much depends on the outcome of that vote. A bit rich coming from an employee of an unelected and unaccountable organization (the UN). |

| #3 And in any event, I think that the whole world should vote on 2 November because so much depends on the outcome of that vote." I thought this was an America election not one for the whole world! Better start having poll watchers out there for votes from noncitizens. Even more so than before. Blix has just announced that the whole world can vote for US president! |

| #2 Hans Blix, a man who will go down in history as a euphamism, as in "You Blixed that one up!", "Man, you really stepped on your Blix!", or "What a Blix-head!" |

| #1 Mr. Blix told a Danish newspaper last month that Iraqis have suffered more from the war than they did under the reign of Saddam Hussein. wtf? And he recently dismissed as no big deal the explosion in Iraq of a roadside bomb containing sarin gas. WTF?!! in any event, I think that the whole world should vote on 2 November because so much depends on the outcome of that vote. WTF?!!!! Mr. Blix: "I place my trust in the multilateralism of Democratic candidate John Kerry. I'm laughing out loud at the sudden visual of that quote as a endorsement and a slogan on millions of Democratic convention campaign buttons. Someone please ask the good mr. Blix what he thought of how President Kennedy faced off against the soviets during the missile crisis. But I guess we have to give mr. blix the benefit of the doubt. After all, he does come from a country with one of the higher suicide rates in the world. This is just another creative way for the West to commit suicide. Please , please please! If there's a debate of some sort between Kerry and President Bush. Please let Kerry bring up the name of John Kennedy. I am dying to see someone, anyone say to him in a public forum, "Mr. Kerry, you are no Jack Kennedy". |
