87 WMD SITES ARE CLEARED: by Gary Jones And Tom Newton Dunn, The Mirror

TROOPS hunting for Saddam's weapons of mass destruction have searched 87 "prime" sites in Iraq - and have found nothing.

Nineteen were "highest-priority" zones identified by US Central Command, military sources revealed yesterday.

But instead of chemical or biological weapons, searchers uncovered a training facility for Iraq's Olympic swimming and diving teams, a drinks distillery and a factory making car licence plates.

Last night more pressure was piled on Tony Blair when the Commons Foreign Affairs Committee announced an inquiry into the WMD controversy.

1. The Crooked One is the son who's always looking for approval

He is always looking for the first chance to position himself as having historical importance. It is why he jumped at the "Mission Accomplished" out-to-lunch frat-boy carrier stunt. It is why he believes he is on some sort of religious mission calling to stop the evildoers. As though God himself has chosen Bush to save us. It is why yesterday in front of Mubarak he had to proclaim that he was the first President to publicly call for two seperate states in the Middle East. He was soooo happy with himself. He is always looking for approval. But he is a failure on all counts.
