The Irresistible Descent Into War
Just as we predicted, Hans Blix has stabbed the Iraqis in the back.

In it, Hans Blix said it was "hard to understand" why measures now being taken by Iraq "could not have been initiated sooner", and that repeated demands for Iraq to disarm had shown only "very limited" results. The latest double talk in the deadly game of diplomacy means only one thing - war.
