Apparently the result of the U.N. weapons inspectors' recent assignment to find WPM (Weapons of Mass Destruction) in Iraq is JDS: Just Diddly Squat.
U.N. weapons inspectors have not found any "smoking guns" in Iraq but are receiving intelligence from several nations that could be helpful, chief U.N. weapons inspector Hans Blix said Thursday.
Nor apparently any smoking biological or chemical weapons, either. Maybe they should look over in North Korea, where smoking is encouraged.
But just so it's not a total loss, here's a picture of Hans Blix smiling.
"America was never innocent. We popped our cherry on the boat over and looked back with no regrets. You can't ascribe our fall from grace to any single event or set of circumstances. You can't lose what you lacked at conception.
"Mass-market nostalgia gets you hopped up for a past that never existed. Hagiography sanctifies shuck-and-jive politicians and reinvents their expedient gestures as moments of great moral weight. Our continuing narrative line is blurred past truth and hindsight. Only a reckless verisimilitude can set that line straight."
