Hello,
To be honest with you all guys, I get a general feeling that Hans Blix was not trying to give an accurate report on Iraq's compliance with the UN inspections.
I believe that Blix was trying to balance between Bush administration's hawkish stance and the rest of world trying to avoid any kind of justification for a war with Iraq.
Seriously, I think Blix is opposed to any war with Iraq, and is clearly trying to use his political clout as the chief UN inspector in Iraq (not of his own agency) to push through a diplomatic solution rather than giving the flat-out facts that Iraq is not cooperating fully.
To me, Blix is more of a politically correct animal rather than a genuine UN inspector wishing to find out the real truth about Iraq's level of compliance.
