This is probably what you had in mind: BLIX CONCEDES IRAQIS MAY DECEIVE INSPECTORS AGAIN Fri Nov 15 2002 13:16:54 ET He Also Admits He Can’t Guarantee the Integrity of the Inspectors Suggest that Han Blix might need to be aggressive on his mission to ferret out Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, as Steve Kroft did, and the Swedish diplomat cautions that aggression is not permitted under his U.N. charter. So how will he perform his inspections? “We’ll be correct and effective,” he tells Kroft in an interview to be broadcast on 60 MINUTES Sunday, Nov. 17 (7:00-8:00 PM, ET/PT) on CBS. MORE “Aggressive is an American quality. You are aggressive in business. That’s fine. Aggression is prohibited under U.N. charter,” Blix tells Kroft. “And as a European, I would rather use the word dynamic and effective.” Blix, speaking in his first U.S. interview since the U.N. gave him sweeping new powers to inspect for Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, concedes the new powers cannot make people tell the truth who were deceptive the last time inspectors entered Iraq. “[The Iraqis] certainly did not give accurate answers to the questions they should answer. It could happen again,” says Blix. MORE He can’t even guarantee if all of his 280 weapons inspectors from various countries will not undermine the effort by tipping off the Iraqis. “I can never have 100 percent guarantees that no one will not be someone who worked for a state [as an intelligence agent]…If I discover that…, then I’ll fire the person.” Blix, however, says the imminent threat of war makes the situation different than the last time inspections were carried out in 1998. “[The Iraqis] have not been under quite the same stress and pressure as they are now,” he tells Kroft. “There is this difference: they know that the consequences might be very serious this time…You have a unanimous [U.N.] Security Council that demands Iraq to cooperate,” he says. “I think it’s a very somber moment and I hope that this is taken to heart by the Iraqis,” says Blix. No matter the severity of the present situation, the Iraqis still have the advantage in the inspection process, says veteran U.N. weapons inspector Tim McCarthy. “[Iraqis] know who’s defected from their country and where those people worked, and those are sights that the inspectors want to see,” McCarthy tells Kroft. “They have the capability to listen to inspector conversations…It’s still their country…It’s a very significant advantage.” Developing...

I think this is exactly right. The only way to make Islam stand up straight is to whack it in the head. These folks are almost all cowards. They talk big talk and then kill innocent people. Kick them in the teeth and they all come running out of the desert with their hands up, whining about their love of America and McDonalds.
