Oh, and by the way.....

The Washington Post reports today that we stopped looking for Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq last month.

So, the charade is over. I suppose, given the $200B price-tag for the Iraq war and recent budget reshuffling at the Pentagon, it was time for meaningless but oratorically advantageous gestures to get chopped.

The list of discovered weapons will be published between the first and second pages of the New York Times sometime this week. Wet your fingers!

We can now draw a line under the most bogus justification for war given in US History. There never were any such weapons, and the claims for them were based on "intelligence" which reasonable people could see was a crock of santorum. Unfortunately, there didn't seem to be any such people in the Bush Administration -- at least, none with courage.
