    WASHINGTON, Jan. 12 (Xinhuanet) -- The US search for Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction (WMD) was over, White House spokesman Scott McClellan said Wednesday.

    The Iraq Survey Group (ISG ), consisting of some 1,200 military and intelligence specialists and support staff, spent nearly two years in Iraq searching for the banned weapons that the Bush administration cited to justify the Iraq war, but failed to find any of such weapons.

And this was the ISG that was set up by the Americans, of their own people, when they decided they didn't like that other survey group the UN had which kept telling them there weren't any WMD programs in Iraq anymore.

Mind you. It doesn't matter anymore of course. We won already.

Naturally, almost a year ago. "Mission Accomplished" right?

Gah. I just lost my reply to this comment, and it was an oddly poetic reply too. Oh well. The gist was:

When the history books come to record the downfall of western democracy, they will probably blame the horribly short memories of the citizens.
