No WMD In Iraq. Can We Have All The Money & Lives Lost Back Now? Any chance the president will admit he was wrong?

The hunt for biological, chemical and nuclear weapons in Iraq has come to an end nearly two years after President Bush ordered U.S. troops to disarm Saddam Hussein. The top CIA weapons hunter is home, and analysts are back at Langley.
In interviews, officials who served with the Iraq Survey Group (ISG) said the violence in Iraq, coupled with a lack of new information, led them to fold up the effort shortly before Christmas.
Four months after Charles A. Duelfer, who led the weapons hunt in 2004, submitted an interim report to Congress that contradicted nearly every prewar assertion about Iraq made by top Bush administration officials, a senior intelligence official said the findings will stand as the ISG's final conclusions and will be published this spring.
President Bush, Vice President Cheney and other top administration officials asserted before the U.S. invasion in March 2003 that Iraq was reconstituting its nuclear weapons program, had chemical and biological weapons, and maintained links to al Qaeda affiliates to whom it might give such weapons to use against the United States.
I sure wish we were getting ready to swear-in Howard Dean.

Fair enough, Chuck.
The president should admit he's wrong, just as soon as you admit with a straight face...
1. You'd rather have Saddam back in power.
2. The UN had the best interest of the Iraqi people in mind.
3. The Iraqi people are closer to democracy now then they were under Saddam.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!
You meant "U.S." not "U.N.".... right?
Chuck should have heard Bill Gertz on Laura Ingraham this morning. Gertz laid it out pretty convincingly how dangerous Hussein was to our future. According to Gertz, Hussein had drastically promoted his missile program with the intent of having bio and chem weapons for warheads. Getting rid of Hussein is a positive good for our country. Currie is a moron.
So true!
