...officials believe the missing weapons are so well hidden that it will take months or perhaps years to find them--an explanation that has the added virtue of giving them a lot more time. G.I.s have searched only about a third of the 900 suspected sites across the Iraqi countryside. Even the Administration's positions are in flux. Saddam, according to Rumsfeld, could have destroyed the weapons right before the war or even moved them out of the country. "I don't know the answer," Rumsfeld said last week, "and I suspect we'll find out a lot more information...
...more probable explanation of why no weapons have materialized is either an overestimation before the war or an incompetent search since. Better for Blair to be a fool than a knave, but not by much; if his judgment was faulty on his casus belli, his leadership will be suspect. Despite the paltry results so far of the search for Iraq's banned weapons, he continues to insist that his prewar WMD claims will be vindicated.

Somewhere within this triangle, many suspect, Saddam and his sons are hiding - probably split up, protected by a small group of bodyguards and a lot of money...
...Thursday when a rocket-propelled grenade struck an American vehicle in the town of Fallujah. Although more have been killed in accidents than in attacks thus far, there's certainly an uptick in hit-and-run strikes by Iraqi fighters sheltering in the civilian population. U.S. officials suspect Saddam loyalists for the attacks, which have been mostly concentrated north of the capital in predominantly Sunni Muslim strongholds of the Baath Party...
