Iraq weapons 'not likely to be found'

[hussar]

Weapons of mass destruction are no longer likely to turn up in Iraq, the BBC has learned.

BBC political editor Andrew Marr says very senior figures "right at the top of Whitehall" no longer believe the weapons are likely to be found.

The development "is of important political significance", he adds.

But Downing Street insists that the prime minister stands by the comments he made to MPs on the Commons liaison committee on Tuesday - that he is convinced that evidence of Iraq's weapons programme will be found.

1. Blair knows he's fucked if no WMDs turn up.

He was swearing up and down that he is totally confident WMDs will be found. Just another lie to postpone the day when he has to admit there were no WMDs in Iraqnam. Then it's bye-bye Blair.

2. well...

it's hard to find something that never existed. This WMD hunt reminds of the hunts for the Holy Grail and Noah's Ark...
