It took five years to find Eric Rudolph, and it was just blind luck that that deputy stumbled upon him. It took decades to catch the Uni-bomber and only then by a tip from a family member who recognized his diatribe. THey are still looking for the Lost Dutchman gold mine in Arizona, Bopeep is still looking for her sheep, Clinton is still seareching for a legacy, Dr. Kilmer is still seeking the one arm man, David Banner is still seeking a permanent metamorphis from his Hulk alter ego. Wonder Woman is searching for her Invisible Air plane-but our troops are expected to find weapons of mass destruction, hidden somewhere in Iraq, over a period of twelve years, faster than Robert Byrd can arrange another pork barrel program for West Virginia.

Wasn't that the point the inspector was making, it would take more time.

What is the difference between the inspectors searching for WMD before the war and the inspectors searching for those same WMD after the war? The only difference is that in between those two events there was an invasion of Iraq.

The invasion was conducted by a country who gained the people's support for the invasion by insisting that WMD existed and that they were a threat to America.

We could have searched without a war if all that was to come of the war was to go back to searching. Somebody's agenda was served but the security of America was not the primary agenda.

Not to mention that we didn't even find out about Iraq's Bio/Chem program until 1995...and we were in Iraq since 1991.
