I saw this story and my antennae(hey, it's a costume) started quivering. Here's the headline:

U.S. Ends Fruitless Iraq Weapons Hunt

Notice the little word "fruitless" that some jackass inserted? You know, because we all knew there weren't any weapons to begin with. Remove that word and you receive the same information, but without the little dig at Bush. Anyway, on to the story itself. Excerpt:

The search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq has quietly concluded without any evidence of the banned weapons that President Bush cited as justification for going to war, the White House said Wednesday

Look, if you're going to rewrite history, you might as well make as well make it interesting, or at least entertaining. Saying that Glenn Reynolds makes puppy smoothies is both; saying that WMD's were the only justification for going to war is neither, and it's patently untrue. The expected presence of banned weapons was used as a reason to not go to war by the same fucking hypocrites that are claiming they knew all along that there weren't any. Maybe such noise plays pretty well amongst their inner circle of like-minded friends, the ones that know Bush is just like Hitler, but it doesn't work with me.
