Ex-U.N. Inspector Has Harsh Words for Bush(the world is NOT a safer place)
By WARREN HOGE


NITED NATIONS, March 15 — Hans Blix, the former chief United Nations weapons inspector, said Monday that the Bush administration convinced itself of the existence of banned weapons based on dubious findings before invading Iraq and was not interested in hearing evidence to the contrary.
"I think they had a set mind," Mr. Blix said on the NBC News program "Today" as he began a ten-day American book tour in the week marking the first anniversary of the United States-led invasion of Iraq.
"They wanted to come to the conclusion that there were weapons," he said. "Like the former days of the witch hunt, they are convinced that they exist, and if you see a black cat, well, that's evidence of the witch."<snip>

(Hans Blix said yesterday) that "he did not share the Bush administrations' view that the war had made the world a safer place." 'Sorry to say it doesn't look that way,' he said. 'If the aim was to send a signal to terrorists that we are determined to take you on, that has not succeeded. In Iraq, it has bred a lot of terrorism and a lot of hatred to the Western world.'

1. Must be a bitch for bush and his thugs

that there are so many honest people in the world willing to chit chat about this and that. Looks like Hans is confirming what Senator Kerry said, as if it needed confirmation.
