Blast from the Past. At Daily Kos on this date in 2006—Hans Blix and Perspective:
Donald Rumsfeld, September 19, 2002:
"There are a number of terrorist states pursuing weapons of mass destruction -- Iran, Libya, North Korea, Syria, just to name a few -- but no terrorist state poses a greater or more immediate threat to the security of our people than the regime of Saddam Hussein in Iraq."
Hans Blix, January 9, 2003:
"We have now been there for some two months and been covering [Iraq] in ever wider sweeps and we haven't found any smoking guns."
George W. Bush, January 16, 2006:
"Iran armed with a nuclear weapon poses a grave threat to the security of the world."
George W. Bush, March 16, 2006:
"We may face no greater challenge from a single country than from Iran."
Hans Blix, April 3, 2006:
(AP) Former U.N. chief weapons inspector Hans Blix said Monday that Iran is a least five years away from developing a nuclear bomb, leaving time to peacefully negotiate a settlement. [...]
"We have time on our side in this case. Iran can't have a bomb ready in the next five years," Blix was quoted as saying.
Condoleeza Rice, March 31, 2006:
"If you're impervious to the lessons you've just come out of you're brain-dead."
Is it too much to hope they have learned to listen Hans Blix and not those beating the war drums for Iran?
