"I didn't think they would do it because, first of all, the world would say that they were liars," he said. Baghdad has denied having any weapons of mass destruction.
"And in the second place, it would also then change, I think, the attitude of the world toward the armed conflict. The skepticism about the armed conflict would, I think, give way to one of greater understanding," he said.
Oh Really. This position is actually a subtle change from his earlier opinion. Now he is saying that they won't use them. Before he said that there was no evidence they had any. Even Blix would have a hard time arguing against their existence after this. It's time for Dr. Blix to admit that further inspections would have only yielded what the U.S. Army has already found, and therefore the war is consistent with U.N. Resolution 1441. But Dr. Blix is naive thinking they won't use them. Remember, Iraq has never cared about world opinion. If they did, they wouldn't have manufactured these weapons or invaded Kuwait for that matter. Didn't Blix take that college course where they teach about despots bent on world domination? I think some of those other guys did some things contrary to good public relations too.
