White House says Iraq weapons search is over

The search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq has quietly concluded without any evidence of the banned weapons that President Bush cited as justification for going to war, the White House said Wednesday

The Iraq Survey Group, made up of some 1,200 military and intelligence specialists and support staff, spent nearly two years searching military installations, factories and laboratories whose equipment and products might be converted quickly to making weapons.

White House press secretary Scott McClellan said there no longer is an active search for weapons. "There may be a couple, a few people, that are focused on that" but that it has largely concluded, he said.


Current number of American war dead: 1,357

All for a lie.

They didn't die for a lie; they died for an imperial adventure. The lie was used as a partial justification for the adventure.

It does remind me, though, of that scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, in which the king of Swamp Castle said "let's not quibble over who killed whom."
