U.S. scraps Iraq weapons search
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Big News Network.com Thursday 13th January, 2005

With little fanfare, U.S. President George Bush's highly publicized search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq ended before Christmas.

Officials with the Iraq Survey Group told the Washington Post the man in charge of the search, Charles Duelfer, is back in Washington writing his final report that pretty much reiterates his report from September that said there was nothing found.

"There's no particular news in them, just some odds and ends," an intelligence official said of Duelfer's finishing touches. "The Government Printing Office will publish it in book form in the spring," the official said.

1. We've killed 100,000 people for weapons that didn't exist
I'm sure George will be apologizing promptly.

2. What's French for "My bad?"
I can’t believe this administration has squandered hundreds of millions of dollars in this futile search for WMDs. What a waste, they could have bought, like, twenty more Inaugural Balls with that money.

Now that it’s clear there were never any WMDs, I imagine the Bush Administration will finally admit a mistake, withdraw from Iraq, restore Saddam Hussein to power since he clearly wasn’t a threat, pay our massive overdue UN dues since their mediation and inspections have been vindicated, and suck it up and apologize to France. Right? Guys?

I’m sure this will have no bearing on our credibility with the world. We lost that a long time ago. And even though we were wrong, France is still wrong for not saying we were right.

The aimless War in Iraq, the even more aimless War On Terror, calling off the search for WMD’s, delaying finding Bin laden or properly investigating 9/11, this Administration of Fear has all been about just getting to this Second Term Brouha.

That’s why the Bush Administration has told the city of D.C. that they have to pay $11M from their own Homeland Security budget for Inaugural security. They’ll probably pillage the remaining Homeland Security budget to pay for the ice sculptures, it’s all been a code yellow crock to scare us into re-electing the worst president in American history. It was especially a crock because in the end, it only had to come down to Spam Voting via Diebold and Trinity.
