How will you judge that but for what you read in the so unbiased press and from administration propaganda which has already begun before we have seen lack of effort, Iraqi obstruction and lack of UN support?

The evidence of Iraqi attempts to produce WMD is massive. There is also a lot of evidence Iraqi's actually having WMD. Not nukes, but there has been evidence of Iraqi attempts to buy components needed for bio weapons, and the Iraqi's actually used chemical weapons.

Considering the fact that Iraq is a decent sized country and the inspectors in the past faced a lot of obstruction I think they did a pretty decent job under the circumstances, but the odds that they eliminated all the Iraqi WMDs are about equal to my chances of getting hit by a meteor one the way home from work today. Also Iraq had several years without any inspections, so they could rebuild there WMD program. Considering all of that if Blix finds nothing then he has to either be incompetent or not trying, or facing blocks from Iraq that he can not overcome.
