Hans has held forth on the inevitability of UN inspections being successful and how the evil US and British governments were hell bent on war all along,relates a story in the UK Guardian.
Let us examine this paragon of honesty's observations...
War against Iraq was a foregone conclusion months before the first shot was fired, the chief weapons inspector Hans Blix has claimed. In a scathing attack on Britain and the US, Mr Blix accused them of planning the war "well in advance" and of "fabricating" evidence against Iraq to justify their campaign.
"...planned well in advance..." Well, yeah, you dunderclumpen. Planning is usually a requisite of success, so the action was planned, and the planning was much better than any that you and your "Three Blind Inspectors" achieved. As for the "fabrication" of evidence is concerned, your attitude seems to be "If it didn't bite me on the ass, it didn't exist." It sucks to fail so completely and in public to boot, doesn't it? You and your team couldn't find your ass with both hands and a copy of Grey's Anatomy.
Letting rip after months of frustration, he told the Spanish daily El Pais: "There is evidence that this war was planned well in advance. Sometimes this raises doubts about their attitude to the [weapons] inspections." Mr Blix said Iraq was paying a "a very high price in terms of human lives and the destruction of a country" when the threat of banned weapons could have been contained by UN inspections.
Ah, the planning thing again... see above...
The only doubt I had about the "inspections" was how you kept from walking into walls with your head so far up your ass.
Oh, and how was it that you asswipes were going to contain the threat when you visited a site repeatedly that has been found to have poisonous levels of radiation but your instruments showed no readings? Would you please return to that site and inspect the underground grottos in your bare feet and a pair of boxer shorts?
Yeah, I didn't think so...
The 74-year Swedish diplomat made clear that he believes he was misled by President Bush. At a White House meeting last October Mr Bush backed the work of Unmovic, the UN inspection team.
If you mean that Bush backed the overt aim of the inspection team (finding weapons of mass destruction), you were correct, Bush repeatedly stated support for that mission... but if you mean your hidden agenda (keeping Saddam in power so your friends, the French, Germans and Russians, could continue to profit from illegal oil deals) well, your bad... you were the one who acted in bad faith...
But at the time Mr Blix knew "there were people within the Bush administration who were sceptical and who were working on engineering regime change". By the start of March the hawks in Washington and London were growing impatient.
Are we there yet?... Are we there yet?
No shit Sherlock... you and your UN buddies sit around, choking your chickens, while Saddam and his cronies torture and kill more people... the CIA sends you info on sites and you ignore it... you omit arms violations from the draft report used for the UN meeting and bury them in the final report... sceptical?... Yup, we figured out that you were full of shit and had no intention of providing an honest and through inspection... Americans are a famously tolerant folk but we get really Pissed impatient with liars who mean us harm.
He said he believed that finding weapons of mass destruction had been relegated as an aim and the main objective had become the toppling of Saddam Hussein.
Yo, Dumbass... as an engineer, I often run into problems that on first examinination appear to be one thing but upon further research it's discovered that the issue can only be resolved by addressing an underlying cause.
Treat the disease, not the symptom.
Bilxie, consider the disease treated, the tumor removed...
