NEW YORK - President Bush (news - web sites) and Prime Minister Tony Blair (news - web sites) have lost credibility, the world isn't safer now that Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) is out of power and it was clear 10 months ago that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq (news - web sites), according to Hans Blix, the former U.N. weapons inspector who returned to New York on the one-year anniversary of the war.



Blix, who was often vilified by supporters and opponents of an invasion in the run-up to the Iraq war, left his post at the United Nations (news - web sites) last June at a time when many held out hope that biological, chemical or even nuclear weapons could be found by U.S. troops in Iraq.


But dozens of search teams over the last year have came up empty handed and much of the initial resources devoted to the hunt have since been reallocated.


In an address Monday at New York University, Blix said the United States should have known months ago that there were no weapons to be found.

3. Hans has every right to say

I told you so!

The Bush Administration will go down in ignominy for smearing so many honest, dedicated people.

5. I take exception to the "should have known" meme...

they KNEW very well there were no WMDs well before the illegal invasion of Iraq. Remember Perle, I think it was, who said that the one thing that could get the support of the American people for the invasion was WMDs ergo WMDs were in Iraq.
