Blix's hidden agenda...

SELLOUT!


NEW YORK (AP)--Hans Blix, the U.N. inspector who clashed often with the Bush
administration over allegations of Iraq's possession of weapons of mass
destruction, has a book deal.
Pantheon hopes to publish Blix's book, currently untitled, in the spring of
2004.
"The core of the book will be the four months leading up to the invasion of
Iraq," Pantheon editor Dan Frank said Thursday. "It will give readers a clear
sense of what the U.N. does and the ins and outs of diplomacy."
Frank said Blix has written about a half to two-thirds of what should be a
250-300 page book. Financial terms weren't disclosed, but a source close to the
negotiations said that the deal was worth around $500,000, factoring in both
domestic and foreign rights.
Blix, who retired last summer, spent three years searching for Iraqi
chemical, biological and ballistic missiles as head of the U.N. Monitoring,
Verification and Inspection Commission.
Saddam Hussein's alleged possession of banned weapons was the main
justification the U.S. and Britain used for invading Iraq in March. In the
weeks before the war, some U.S. officials strongly criticized Blix's failure to
support the Bush administration's contention that Saddam had an active illegal
weapons program.
Months of searching in Iraq have produced no announced discoveries that would
validate the bulk of the allegations that helped lead to the war. Blix recently
accused the U.S. of showing "questionable honesty" over Iraq and said the
country was attacked despite posing no immediate threat.

So why uis he a sellout jsuto brcause he's making a boko about the inspections? Many other people maek memoirs as well, and you don't call them sellouts. I wonder if you'd make the same statements if bush waws to make his book (asusming he's capable of wrajting one,. of course).

And yes, I'm drunk.

I fail to see what the problem is.

In fact, the only thing I can possibly assume is that you believe Dr. Blix somehow impeded the weapons search in order to sell his book or something to that effect.

In order to assert that, you'd need to present a lot more evidence that he just wants to write a book.

Uh gee, lets see...using position for personal financial gain. Making a political statement for the sole purpose of financial gain. Selling out in my book. Furthermore, anyone who purchases said piece of shit is also selling out.

YES. If GW did the same thing I'd call him a sellout. Hillary is a sellout and Clinton is a sellout. If he simply created a blog or something and published his thoughts, it would not be selling out, but signing a book deal is a disgrace.

And yeah, Tito--you're obviously wasted.

Heh, in that case you could say all the people who have written autobiographies and memoirs are sellouts. Well, I guess you could say that, because they didn't offer their thoughts and their insight on history for free, but have instead insisted on being payed for that. But still, nobody does is that altruistic to spend half a year on writing a book for free, and if there wasn't a financial gain for writing such things, noone would have done so. That wouldn't be such a good thing because those books can sometimes be interesting.

Yeah, well what he was originally did was a service to the U.N. and the world. He's now capitalizing on what was a selfless act, turning it into personal property and taking advantage of his chance to put a spin on history for profit. It's as if he's trying to achive celebrity status to preserve his place in the books. In my eyes that's whoring yourself out.

It could also be him wanting to preserve his outlook on the situation for posterity.

Considering that those in power write the history books, he could be jus wanting to make sure his viewpoint and those like his are at least a footnote when doing research on the topic for future generations.
