Faith, Beer, and Other Things That Interest Geoff

Geoff, your comment is based on a complete misunderstanding of what was lost. We never found any WMDs, not a single one. What has gone missing is dual use materials, such as high polished aluminum tubing which could be used for general purpose machinery but could also be used in nuclear reactors. The UN and the US knew about this material before the war and after the war. It was not what the administration was referring to when they said Iraq had WMDs.

It is also important to note that the administration never once claimed that the existence of these now missing material constituted an existence of WMDs. They would have been all over that if they thought they could leverage it. It's the best thing they do. Remember that the administration has publicly stated flat out that there are no WMDs in Iraq to be found, and that the WMDs may not have existed at least in the year leading up to the war.
