What Weapons of Mass Destruction???

The United States is calling off the search for WMD in Iraq.

It's been almost two years since the United States invaded Iraq, a country who did not attack us, and a country who, according to reports, has not had an active WMD program since 1991. Now, after many thousands of troops and civilians have died, we are calling off the search for the WMD.

So we now know, officially, that one of two things are true:

1 - Saddam has officially fooled the weapons inspectors, George W. Bush, Tony Blair, the neocons who run the country, and everyone else who was screaming "War!" by hiding those things so we would never find them.....

....or....

2 - WE HAVE BEEN LIED TO.

And the cherry on top of this bloody sundae is that the President is still tying the Iraq war to 9/11.

Here's White House spokesman Scott McClellan to CNN: "We had a regime that had a history of using weapons of mass destruction and had a history of defying the international community and had a history of ties to terrorist organizations in Iraq. We had the attacks on September 11 [2001], that taught us we must confront threats before it's too late."

And there is Bush's oh so simplistic equation once again:
Saddam = bad man/bad regime. 9/11 = Bad event. Bad man + Bad event = War on Terrorism = War on Iraq.

Charles A. Duelfer, the man who heads the Iraq Survey Group that has been searching for Iraq's mysterious WMD, released a preliminary report, stating that in March 2003, the very same month of the invasion, Saddam had no stockpiles of WMD, nor had he started any program to make WMD.

The Iraq Survey Group is the organization that said that Saddam's WMD program and his nuclear (or "nucular" if you're an ivy league "C" student who plans on running for President one day) program ended in 1991 after the Persian Gulf War.

That's why "W" stands for "Wrong".
