<<<MP warns Blair could be forced to quit over weapons in Iraq claim>>>

With the capture of so many of the 52 most wanted Iraqi higher ups, somebody somewhere has talked.
Yet Blair, Bush, Powell, and Franks are still convinced, and saying that, the evidence of WMD's will be found.
Are these men political fools? I seriously doubt it.
Before their stories are told, there is work to be done. If they were destroyed, the US will find indisputable proof of where and when and investigate the site-Before making public statements.
The same is true if they were moved to Syria or Iran, in which case the US will have to make political arrangements to go into the country to locate them and have independent sources verify their location - which will take time and again, no comments can be made before the act itself because the Press tends to twist the statements with expectations , implications, and exaggerations about what is occurring .
I expect what is going on is that the Administration is giving the enemy ( those who believe that silence is sign of guilt) plenty of rope and hope, so they are thoroughly trussed up when the final report (being prepared) is released
Before that, the rest of the 1000 identified potential sites of WMD activiites and lots of others, will be searched.
I expect the US will come thru for Blair if his situation gets desperate and will release some of the gathered info in time to get him off the hook.
JMHO
