Are we there yet?

Larry,

A little gentle reminder that we haven't found these things never hurt anyone.

As for how long it takes, if we knew it was going to so long with over 1,500 American "inspectors," why were we complaining so harshly about how long it was taking Hans Blix and company.

But to be more to the point...I don't think were gonna find 'em. At least, I don't think we are going to find the hundreds of tons of the stuff we said he had. That's because I don't think he actually had the stuff any longer.

We either relied upon incredibly bad intelligence or the American people have been deliberately misled. The former would be perferable to the latter, but neither conditionis a good thing.

And if I'm wrong and he did have them, then its probable that someone else has them by now. That would not be a good thing. And if this is true, one could not conclude the war achieved its objectives. In fact, the potential threat to American lives would be greater than ever.
