But that's not the perspective the news media is conveying. They are trying to convey (successfully, I'm sure) that the search for WMDs has completely turned up empty, and that we're giving up. All of which reflects badly upon the US' decision to go to war (regardless of your other comment about the Congressional resolution, which is an excellent point).
In regard to looking elsewhear, I would very suprised if we don't have Special Forces in the Baaka Valley even as we speak.
Perhaps the greatest weakness of the Bush administration is its unwillingness to use the bully pulpit to get its message out. Scott McClellan and the other press handlers should frame the Q&A sessions on their terms, not the media's. They should force the issue of WMD-related programs, and actual rockets filled with cyclosarin, into the public debate since we know that the Dems and "journalists" won't do it.
