Contrary to the expectations of all 16 of our U.S. intelligence agencies, the “weapons hunters” sent to Iraq by President George W. Bush found no “stockpiles” of WMD.

Never mind that there was a 15-month run-up to the war, during which time Saddam was not combing his mustache. A former Iraqi general, Georges Sada, who met with members of Congress, has long claimed Saddam Hussein moved tons of WMD by land and air into Syria during the run-up to the 2003 invasion. James Clapper, the current Director of National Intelligence, has also said publicly that he, too, believes the WMD were there. But Bush’s two weapons hunters found no stockpiles.
