How long does the BFEE have to "find" vast stockpiles of weapons?
Sure they've already tried to spin the issue as a "Weapons PROGRAM", not actual weapons, but I really don't think that's catching on. They made WAY too many strong accusations that implied actual stockpiles, like in the SOTU. Not too many are buying that lie.

It's same as August, how long before we can be confident that they simply aren't going to find jack?

October? Or will they surprise us before then.

4. I am truly amazed that nothing was planted....er.....found by now.
And in my opinion, that window of opportunity is painted shut.

5. Their time was up long ago

Rumsfeld knew where they were. Powell knew what and how much.

If that were true, they would have tripped over them in April. Or worse, Saddam would have used them in March.

They lied.

8. No kidding
They swore over and over they knew *where* the WMD were. If that was true, it should have taken no longer than 24 hours after the fall of Baghdad to be holding the evidence.

I think they really, really believed the cooked intelligence they forced out of the CIA, and were caught offguard, when (oh my), the WMD weren't actually there at all. Otherwise they would have had a plan in place to plant the WMD in the first week.

6. The question now is how long do they have to plant and find
the WMD. There were no stockpiles. They will now manufacture a "program" as the next best thing. But they have bupkiss. And they aren't surprised. You will notice that they haven't said they are surprised by these developments. They apparently knew there weren't any, that the reports were forgeries. They just didn't think it would be a big deal.

9. At least until the Democratic convention next year
at which time they'll roll out all the stuff the military is planting.

11. UN found them
And then destroyed them. They went back to see if they missed anything, and guess what? They apparently didn't. The inspectors did their work with a somewhat uncooperative government in the way. The U.S. OWNS Iraq right now. I don't think it would be hard to find a black cat in a totally white room if I had complete access to it for 4 months.
