All during Blair and Bush’s push to get us to accept war on Iraq they beat us with the idea that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and that these posed a clear and present danger to the security of the Western World. Now I never chose to believe that the man had an active Nuclear program and even doubted the strength of his bio and chemical weapons programs. I chose to choose fromer US Marine and head UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter when he said.

And now of course it looks like he was right.

It’s been months now since the fall of Iraq and even longer since the beginning. I thought they’d have found something by now, well I knew it probably wouldn’t be enough to convice me for the need for war but at the very least I would have expected something, but now it looks like I’m not going to see that at all.

This Salon article basically covers some of the trouble America is causing it’s allies with regard to the WMD question. Because the scary number of American’s who think they’ve already found them, and those who don’t care, a climate condusive to the American’s telling us it was all a con has developed. Two of the leading light in the Bush administration have said as much.

Rumsfeld during the week said

So basically the war was for other reasons like most right minded people suspected, this was confirmed in this shocking statement by Paul Wolfowitz who in an upcoming interview states

Absolutely unreal, I actually can’t believe they have managed to dupe half the world. All I hope is that next time the few allies that were there on this issue ask for more proof than Colin Powell was able to give.

Of course Tony is still claiming he knows where the weapons are, but to be honest I don’t believe him because if there was even the slightest shred of evidence we’d be sick and tired of the yanks shoving it in our faces!
