Bleak Outlook for US in Iraq Says Blix: "'There's a hatred against the United States and you have 130,000 American troops sitting there as a big target,' said Hans Blix as he leaned forward to make his point about the future of Iraq and its military occupation. 'The borders, although guarded, are not watertight. Weapons of mass destruction may not be there but conventional weapons are and the U.S. does not have the capacity to guard it all,' Blix added. 'The outlook is bad.' ... "[WMD] was the basis upon which the war was sold and justified and today I think no one would say Iraq constituted a danger in the Spring of 2003," said the 75-year-old Swede."
