A reader underlines the point I made here about the scant attention paid to WMD or weapons sites in the original invasion of Iraq. The salience of it is either a) rank incompetence, or b) that the military leadership really didn't have reason to fear the WMDs the president had scared the rest of us about. -AS,"Something Smells" II
Well, ONE thing that we know for certain is that the Iraq Survey Group, under our Dear Leader(s), had the US taxpayer stand at attention for what may have been nearly $1 billlion dollars to run The BIGGEST Search For Nothing ever.
Of course, we don't know for sure. Why? Well, because the budget for the search for WMD has been classified for your protection!
Really, you cannot make this stuff up.
Gosh, wouldn't it be a triple witching if it turned out the the classifying authority was Cheney - you know, the one who is refusing to comply with the Administration rules to list what his office has classified, by claiming that he is not part of the Executive branch.
