Draft Report Said to Cite No Success in Iraq Arms Hunt

[Snellius]

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24 — An early draft of an interim report by the American leading the hunt for banned weapons in Iraq says his team has not found any of the unconventional weapons cited by the Bush administration as a principal reason for going to war, federal officials with knowledge of the findings said today.

The long-awaited report by David Kay, the former United Nations weapons inspector who has been leading the American search for illicit weapons, will be the first public assessment of progress in that search since President Bush declared an end to major combat on May 1.

Mr. Kay's team has spent nearly four months searching suspected sites and interviewing Iraqi scientists believed to have knowledge about the country's nuclear, biological and chemical weapons programs.

1. Is it possible David Kay refuses to Lie for them?

Well, they will just have to form a special committee to add the Lies to the report. Wouldn't want to have a Bush Admin report without Lies in it. That would just be confusing to people.

2. this may very well be the last nail in the Bush* presidential...

...coffin. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Now let's focus on getting Bush* and his gang handed over to the ICC for war crimes. I can't wait to hear about Poppy's travails visiting shrubya in his cell at The Hague!

3. Funniest Paragraph in the world

They also said that Mr. Kay's team had interviewed at least one Iraqi security officer who said he had worked in such a chemical and biological weapons program until shortly before the American invasion in March.

Well, that convinces me.

5. Mr Kay stood tall and talked big 2 months ago

I suppose it was worth to the thief to steal a couple of months worth of big fees from the taxpayers . The promises of WMD were as empty as a robin's nest in January. We all knew it, but couldn't do a damn thing about it.
