End of the Line
By Thomas JeffreyArticle Posted: Saturday June 30, 2007
The United Nations Security Council finally put the kibosh on the futile attempt to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq by voting to close down those units within the international agency that had been charged with the snipe hunt before the US invasion.
The resolution passed on Friday effectively dissolves the group and directs that any remaining funds left unspent, which some estimate to be in the neighborhood of $60 million, be reprimanded to the Iraqi government for deposit into the black hole known as the Development Fund for Iraq.
America’s ambassador to the UN, Zalmay Khalilzad, was not above stating the obvious when he remarked following the passage of the resolution that “There is no longer any reason to believe significant quantities of Saddam-era weapons of mass destruction remain undiscovered in Iraq.”
Well, no sh*t, Sherlock.
