Subject: RE: BS: Why Iraq Was a Mistake, Teribus...
Yeah, bruce, no problemo...
"Iraq has on the whole cooperated rather well so far with UNMOVIC in the field. The most important point to make is that access has been provided to all sites we have wanted to inspect and with one exception it has been prompt. We have further had great help in building up the infastructure of our office in Baghdad and the field office in Mosui. Arrangements and services for our plane and helicopters have been good. The environment has been workable." (Dr. Hanz Blix addressing ther UN Security Council on Jan 27, 2003)
That quote is from early in Blix's report to the UN...
But wait... Here is how Blix closed out report before the UN:
"We have now an inspection apparatus that permits us to send multiple inspection teams every day all over Iraq, by road or by air. Let me end by simply noting that that capability which has been built-up in a short time and which is now operating, is at the disposal of the Security Council" (ibid)
