IIRC the evil warmongering amoungst us said to give it time but we would have no problem saying they were wrong and there were no WoMD's. because we knew there were more reasons then just WoMD's. IIRC there were even some on the otherside that said if WoMD's were found they'd be doing the apologizing Now I Know this thread is still new so not all have seen it, but I wait with bated breath.

"Stealing candy from a baby"? Actually the analogy I have in mind involves a mythical large box of candy, someone boasting to his skeptical friend he'll be able to pry all of it loose from the old lady whom he suspects owns it, the same guy whining and searching for months on end and finally managing to scrape one measly, half-chewed and downright icky piece of winegum off the carpet, and then doing a "HA! Told you so! You were WRONG, a LIAR!" routine plus embarrassing victory dance in front of his skeptical friend - and the analogy ends with the friend sighing deeply, rolling his eyes and deciding to go out to meet other friends who at least have *some* sense of realistic perspective, even if they may have been looking for the very same box of candy.
Anyways, if this news is truely gloat-worthy to you, then so be it - even though I actually think it's more sad and tragi-comical straw clutching at this point than an actual retortion to those who have been critical of the US's failure in locating the "promised" WMD up to this point.
