I don't know, it sounds like a lot of rear end covering to me.

I find it pretty hard to believe that Bush and Blair would make WMD's an important spoke in the wheel and then not have a military plan well thought out on how to find them.

I can believe that State was (and is) doing all it could to contain Defense. The State Department must be on the UN payroll.

I thought I smelled the State dept.

I would also think that GWB wouldn't want to send inspectors to find WMD until it was resonably safe. Of course the most of WMD isn't going to be where the CIA had info it was, since Saddam had plenty of time to move it around.
