isn't it strange that although there was no WMD found there that our local news reports have run multiple stories about nuclear materials from Iraq. why is this not being reported nationally?

Part of the problem is that most journalist are just plain stupid. I seriously think they would have a hard time spelling WMD if you spotted them the W and the M

[Kirkwood]

Take any emergency management course in WMD and you will learn that the release of any quantity of radiological material that is sufficient to contaminate an area and/or causes panic in the public if released is considered a WMD. So, technically, WMDs were found in large quantity in Iraq, but because this material could also be defined by another label (simply as nuclear waste), it was not accepted to be a WMD by the liberal press.

For the same reason they don't run the stories about the sarin gas ammunintion rounds or the mustard gas in the Euphrates or any of the other WMD that have actually been found...
