"Officials said Pentagon leaders are considering reassigning a number of intelligence officers, interrogators, translators, linguists and others from the 1,400-member Iraq Survey Group, which is conducting the hunt for weapons of mass destruction.
President Bush cited what he said were Iraq's stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons to help justify the war that toppled President Saddam Hussein, but such arms have not yet been uncovered."
Now, I'm not a very political person. I try to avoid politics as much as possible, but I heard this on the radio this morning and had an immediate reaction. It seems that he's calling off the hunt for WMD.
So, suppose the local cops knocked on your door and accused you of having drugs. You deny it, heck, you even have an independent party come in and check out the place to declare it drug-free. The cops ignore all this and turn your house/apartment upside down, searching for drugs. After ruining your place, before finding anything, they leave, saying, "We've got something more important to do now."
It's not a perfect analogy, but it strikes me as similar to the above situation.
