Another example of GWB's "historical revisionism:"

Bush Says Iraqi Weapons Sites Were Looted

KEY QUOTES:

"President Bush, trying again to explain the failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, said on Saturday that suspected arms sites had been looted in the waning days of Saddam Hussein's rule."

"It is believed to be the first time Bush has cited looting to explain the inability of U.S. forces to uncover chemical or biological weapons in Iraq, a U.S. official said."

"Bush had previously said weapons may have been destroyed before the war. The U.S. military has been criticized for failing to prevent looting at an Iraqi nuclear facility."

"Bush has been widely criticized for misleading the public by asserting that Saddam had stockpiles of unconventional weapons that menaced the world. The allegations were Bush's main justification for bypassing the United Nations and ordering the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq."

So now that Mr. Bush has "historically revised" his excuse for not finding weapons of mass destruction, how safe do you feel? If looters truly have these things, what do you suppose they intend to do with them? Sell to the highest Al Qeada bidder? Wasn't this precisely what the war was supposed to prevent?
