Don't be bitter, consider the following: (courtesy of a poster at Lucianne.com)

The reports that stockpiles of WMD were found in Iraq are correct. WMD were widely dispered in Iraq pre-invasion for use by terrorists, many of which have been found.

The terrorists, to date, apparently opted not to use the WMDs because the political damage of the 'no WMD in Iraq' was deemed more damaging to the war effort than the casualties from the use of WMD.

The administration was concerned that the public disclosure of the stockpiles would change this dynamic and encourage the terrorists to use the WMD.

The administration was willing to take the political damage from the false claims of 'no WMD in Iraq' in order to save the lives of American soldiers.

Interesting theory- though it does require me to grab my ever-present tin-foil cap...

It's just too "perfect".

On the other hand..
