Where are Hans Blix and Scott Ritter?
they have the facts at their fingertips

they should know what the exact status of inspectors' knowledge of WMD prolif was, including silly pieces of paper, and WMD related program activiy actions in progress.

I'm SO sick of seeing Kay lie his ass off to drooling supplicants who don't know their asses from the fourth of july.

there are HUNDREDS of people here who could really put Kay and his fellow apologists on the hotseat.

WHY on earth don't some frickin DEMS start using the resources available here and other places to get some BASIC talking points out there to counter the lies.

idiot DINO Evan Bayh, instead, is out there, toeing the pugline!

can't STAND that weasel. where are some people that will put the, uh, lie to all these lies?

oh.....part of it is that they won't ALLOW them on the air...forgot about that

some stuff on Blix/Kay coming up

1. comment from Scott Ritter
Scott Ritter, a former chief UN weapons and an outspoken critic of the invasion of Iraq, said last night: "I am at a loss to explain what happened in the UK and in the US. I think we were overwhelmed by the theocracy of evil in that we assumed he intended to obtain WMD and then everything that happened was interpreted with that assumption. It's insane."

Blix Downgrades Prewar Assessment of Iraqi Weapons (June 22, 2003)
Hans Blix, UN Chief Weapons Inspector, suspects that the Iraqi government possessed little more than "debris" from a former, secret weapons program before the US-led invasion. The US inability to find weapons of mass destruction after the fall of the Hussein regime has led Blix to downgrade his original assessment of the threat Iraq posed. (Washington Post)

Iraqi Mobile Labs Nothing to do with Germ Warfare, Report Finds (June 15, 2003)
Two trailers found in northern Iraq are not mobile germ labs as purported by US and UK government officials. These findings are a major embarrassment for Prime Minster Tony Blair, who continually insisted that the labs prove Iraqi ownership of weapons of mass destruction. (Observer)

Blix: I Was Smeared by the Pentagon (June 11, 2003)
On the eve of retirement, UN Chief Weapons Inspector Hans Blix has made sharp criticisms of Washington.

UN Weapons Search in Iraq was Fruitless, Blix Says (June 3, 2003)
In a report to the Security Council Chief Inspector, Hans Blix, stated that before leaving on the eve of the US-UK led invasion, he had found no evidence that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. (Associated Press)

Hans Blix Vs the US: I Was Undermined (April 23, 2003)
Chief weapons inspector Hans Blix accuses the Bush administration of lacking credibility in its hunt for weapons of mass destruction. Blix states that only the UN inspectors can provide an objective assessment of the material found. (Independent)

Briefing the Security Council on UNMOVIC's Readiness to Resume Operations (April 22, 2003)
This is the transcript of chief weapons inspector Hans Blix’s briefing to the UN Security Council on UNMOVIC’s work program in Iraq.

3. I've been wondering the same thing
It seems really weird to me that EVERYONE that comes out with the truth on bu$h and his gang of thugs,suddenly disappear off the radar screen. I was wondering what happened to Paul O'Neil? Why doesn't this raise any eyebrows? I am so sick of the bu$h nazis getting their way about everything I could almost pull my hair out! :argh: Also....why are they refusing to let the 9-11 commission have more time for their investigation? The Whitehouse thugs are REFUSING!!! That seems VERY suspicious to me.....why aren't the dems raising hell? :grr:

4. when a hammer is your main tool for making money,
you look at everything in terms of a hammer. We can conceive of doing it to them, so maybe he will do it to us, so we'd better act first.
The chickens are coming home to roost boys and girls. Maybe there is hope for humanity yet.
