Blix Sees Monitors' Role for U.N. in Post-War Iraq

Fri March 28, 2003 06:11 AM ET BERLIN (Reuters) - Chief U.N. weapons inspector Hans Blix said on Friday his team was willing to go back into Iraq after the war is over to verify independently whether Baghdad holds banned weapons of mass destruction. "The Americans and the British could be interested in independent verification. Although naturally we would receive our mandate from the U.N. Security Council, not from Washington," Blix said in an interview with German television.

Bureaucrats will be bureaucrats. The "New Class" at its worst.

Omigod. Blix wants to go back to Iraq and wave his *clipboard* at the Bad Guys to verify that they have banned weapons?!?!?

Can anyone say "Theatre of the Absurd"?

I thought he just retired?

Independent Verification by the Blind, sure makes sense to me. And gosh darn it we need to involve the French and the UN...There's gonna be alot of Porta-Potties that'll need emptying. Sounds like he's looking for another 12 year gig, maybe he doesn't have enough money saved for his retirement

Blix must be desperate to go back to Iraq, even to the point of offering to inspect the US inspections. Wonder what he finds so attractive there?

Blix Trix Nix Pix, listen to this: you are irrelevant. Now go back to the polar circle.
