Fits right in.
SYDNEY: US Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage said yesterday US troops would not leave Iraq until they found weapons of mass destruction there.
“We will (find them). I have absolute confidence about that,” he told an Asia Society lunch in Sydney – after talks with Australia’s Prime Minister John Howard on Tuesday.
While the US did not want to remain in Iraq any longer than necessary, “we are not going to leave until we find and destroy Iraq’s capability to launch biological, chemical and nuclear weapons,” Armitage said.
He said the fact that no weapons had so far emerged was a “chilling” reminder that they were “far too easy to move and far too easy to hide.”
What was it about the Bush administration making decisions based on ideology and not the facts? Bah, must have been nothing.
