What tough questions do you think the good doctor may be asked, Teribus, that has prompted him to embark upon this pre-emptive broadside?

Clear indication that he thought at that time there was something there to find?
Or a clear indication that he wanted more time to make sure.
Are you seriously suggesting that Dr. Blix knew less about the WMD situation in Iraq than the Bush Administration did?
Perhaps if he had been given that time, his statement 100 days later may not have been a bit bloody late at all.

To have the weapons inspectors potentially give the all clear may well have satisfied the UN, Saddam's unwillingness to make life easy for them, or not; it was after all, their call.
It was not up to the US to unilaterally enforce 1441; it was a UN resolution, not a US one, as Kofi Annan has very succintly put it.

The numbers of (given different circumstances) incredibly credible people seems to be rising, as far as I can see it, Teribus.

Soon the World and it's dog will be added to that list.
