Hans Has His Day
Hans Blix gave a scathing interview in the Guardian today and told other interviewers about his experiences as well as being a target of a Pentagon smear campaign. This is not necessarily news, but I suppose if anyone deserves to vent, it's Hans.
Interesting: in February and March, all Blix and his team were asking for was a little more time to complete their inspections of Iraq. But BushCo said it COULDN'T WAIT, the threat was TOO IMMINENT from the WMDs!! And now, in May and June, all Bush and his team are asking for is just a little more time to complete their inspections...
