Still no WMDs in Iraq

While I still wouldn't be surprised if some sort of (legitimate) WMD find was made in Iraq, it looks like the number of suspected sites is "drying up", with nary a find.

After days of intense digging and searching at least seven suspicious sites near Nassiriya, U.S. experts have found chemical warfare protective suits, but no chemical weapons.

Chief Warrant Officer Alex Robinson, leading the U.S. search in the area, admitted on Thursday that his list of suspect sites in southern Iraq was "kind of drying up".

Seriously, don't gloat about this. They may yet find such weapons. But it's curious that while the US was SO SURE Saddam had such weapons, it didn't have any evidence to hand over the UN weapons inspectors, and now that it controls the ENTIRE country, it still has not evidence they exist.
