Pro Forma WMD Commentary

I almost didn't mention an AP report titled "U.S. Ends Fruitless Iraq Weapons Hunt" — not because I'm inclined to hide it, but because there's almost no new value to it, as far as I can see. The only thing that I find notable is that the talking points of the other side haven't moved an inch (emphasis added):

"After a war that has consumed nearly two years and millions of dollars, and a war that has cost thousands of lives, no weapons of mass destruction have been found, nor has any evidence been uncovered that such weapons were moved to another country," Pelosi said in a written statement. "Not only was there not an imminent threat to the United States, the threat described in such alarmist tones by President Bush and the most senior members of his administration did not exist at all."

You can search this blog and/or Google for the words "imminent threat" for the relevant commentary, I guess.
