Bulletin: No W.M.D. Found

Article: NY Times

The search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq may have been one of the greatest nonevents of the early 21st century, right up there with the failure of the world's computers to crash at the end of the last millennium. That Y2K scare at least brought us an updated Internet. Fear of the nonexistent W.M.D. brought us a war.

The fact that nothing was found does not absolutely, positively prove that there wasn't something there once, something that was disassembled and trucked over the border to Syria or buried in yet another Iraqi rose garden. But it's not the sort of possibility you'd want to fight a war over. What all our loss and pain and expense in the Iraqi invasion has actually proved is that the weapons inspections worked, that international sanctions - deeply, deeply messy as they turned out to be - worked, and that in the case of Saddam Hussein, the United Nations worked. Whatever the Hussein regime once had is gone because the international community insisted. It was all destroyed a decade ago, under world pressure.

I wouldn't put it past BushCo, would you?

I was waiting for someone to ask, "why does the New York Times hate America" with some degree of sarcasm. Oh yeah. On FARK they'd do that, after posting the "mission accomplished" pic of Bush.

spent about a billion looking for it too....

....... that even with the fact no WMDs being found it does not stop the White House's
from keep the lies going. When asked about the no WMDs the spokesman talked about 9-11. Again no connection!

My head is going to explode now.
