US quietly abandons search for WMD

"The White House has now officially acknowledged what the Washington Post first reported and what many probably assumed was the case anyway - the US search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq is over, at least in any meaningful sense."

Surprised no one has posted about this now.  Not to trumpet on the Bush administration so much but, what do you have to say now?  Immediate threat to America via usage of WMD?

The cynical part of me expect the spin on this to be that because they invaded, Saddam was unable to develop the WMD to harm America.  Or maybe, try to convince the public that all of it was transported to Syria and Iran.  I don't think even Bush Jr. is stupid enough to try to liberate Syria or Iran right now though.

So, was it a Bush conspiracy, or not?  Make up your mind.

p.s.  My grandparents were refugees from the old USSR, and relatives of mine died in Stalin's death-camps at Uglegorsk and Kolyma, so I'm quite familiar with the history of the Soviet Union.  I've also probably read more Orwell than you, not to mention more Solzhenitsyn.
