Hans Blix - born in 1928. Which means that he is at least 75 and maybe 76. Really must be time he started to think of winding down, rather than worrying about "job security", don't you think Teribus?

................................

As for the resolution 1441, and that unanimous vote, the other way of interpreting that is that it was a way of putting the ball into touch, so that the process of investigating the whole issue could be carried out properly, without the USA and it's hangers-on going to war in advance. The clear implication of the resolution was that the whole matter would have to come back to the Security Council before any kind of war could be authorised, which cold only be done by a further resolution. This was stated by some signatories both at the time and later.
