Fallout from WMD search failure.
The White House has now officially acknowledged what the Washington Post first reported and what many probably assumed was the case anyway - the US search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq is over, at least in any meaningful sense.
The search ended quietly just before Christmas when the chief inspector, Charles Duelfer, returned to the United States with no plans to head back to Iraq. The weapons hunters - officially the Iraq Survey Group - have stopped physical searches. Some are still sifting through a mountain of documents, and they'll pursue any leads. But nobody is really expecting the hunt to be revived.
Political fallout continues...
THE BIGGEST LIE AND THE BIGGEST JOKES EVER!
