WILL MR. BLIX BE WELCOME IN A FREE IRAQ:

Iraq Says Blix May Visit on March 17 (Reuters, March 9, 2003)
Iraq said on Sunday chief U.N. weapons inspector Hans Blix might visit Baghdad on March 17, a deadline proposed by the United States and Britain for Iraq to disarm or face military action.

General Hussam Mohammed Amin, head of the Iraqi National Monitoring Directorate (NMD), also said Iraq believed it had little hope that it
could avert a U.S.-led invasion no matter what Baghdad did on the disarmament issue.

Asked whether Blix would visit soon, Amin told a news conference in Baghdad: ``I don't know really, but he might, he might visit us on the
17th of this month.''


If he waits 'til then he'll be visiting a liberated nation, and I don't know if I'd want to be a UN toady or a EUnuch in the Iraq I'd tried to keep subjugated. Posted by Orrin Judd at March 9, 2003 8:41 PM

If he goes on March 17th, it will be to act as a high ranking human shield. After the stunt of El Baradei (who has killed Blair politically), this would be the ultimate act of betrayal by the UN. Thank you, Colin Powell, for putting the US in this mess.
