BWAHA! No really? Come on Hans! Surely you jest!! democracynow.org Hans Blix Says Iraq War Motivated by Oil Former UN chief weapons inspector Hans Blix is once again speaking out on the US invasion and occupation of Iraq. He told the Swedish News Agency that he now believes oil was one of the reasons for the invasion. Blix said that he initially did not believe that but now says he thinks the US "wanted to secure oil in case competition on the world market becomes too hard." He defended the United Nations, despite recent scandals including allegations of corruption in the oil-for-food program for Iraq. Blix called the allegations "revenge from American political circles for the defeat over Iraq."
