It's been known he was going to quit for some time, he wants to get back to his family. The search is obviously taking longer than expected and he didn't think he'd be away this long.

Here's an angle. What if he did find evidence but the gov't is suppressing it and he doesn't want to take part in that ?

Nothing but ugly links on this morning's Google news page...

Boston Globe - 7 hours ago
WASHINGTON -- David Kay, who stepped down as leader of the US hunt for banned weapons in Iraq yesterday, said he did not believe the country had any large stockpiles of chemical or biological weapons.

Justification: A Post-War Review
With the end of the Iraq war, comes the question...was the war justified?

Of course, one must define the justification for war first.
Was it human rights? Was it terrorism? Was it WMDs all along, with the others justifications only claimed after the fact?

Well, there's only one definitive answer, and it always suprises me that this is still debated. The justification for war has long been codified and official.
It is described in the October 10th, 2002 "House Joint Resolution Authorizing Use of Force Against Iraq", and it is quite clear.

I thought I heard him say several months ago that he would not be in the job for very long. Sounds like he wanted it that way.
