WASHINGTON (AP) -- Contradicting the main argument for a war that has cost more than 1,000 American lives, the top U.S. arms inspector reported Wednesday that he found no evidence that Iraq produced any weapons of mass destruction after 1991. He also concluded that Saddam Hussein's weapons capability weakened during a dozen years of U.N. sanctions before the U.S. invasion last year.

This is a tremendous surprise to the people of the small, isolated island tribe Cuaholahe, who have no televisions and speak no language besides Cuaholohean but are mentioned by Bush as a key part of the Coalition of the Willing. Upon hearing of these findings from a local anthropologist, the chieftan tore his hair and said, "I feel so betrayed. All these years, and we never suspected. We thought they must be digging those things up all the time."

Asked if he regretted backing the Bush Administration in Iraq, the chieftan answered, "No. Mr. Cheney has assured me that Saddam had connections with the minor fruit-fly pestilence we had three years ago. If Mr. Cheney says it, you can bet green-spotted frippards on it. No one who looks so close to death would be willing to risk dying with a falsehood on his lips, angering the gods."

The exact nature of a green-spotted frippard remains unclear.

Our allies also believed Iraq had WMDs, and I think we may still find them. Not too long ago Kerry himself said that we may still find them. Even if we dont, good riddence. Its not like Bush was just looking for an excuse to go to Iraq. Thoughs who say he was are just trying to cloud the issue. No one had the intellegence or the dissision to make. Bush did.
