Weapons of Mass Destruction

Well? Where are they? Where are all those Weapons of Mass Destruction? Every now and then, someone like Ari Fleischer says "Hey! We found some!" and then the military test them and say "nope, that was rocket fuel, which any idiot could have guessed as we found these tanks next to a bunch of rockets."
I have this sneaking suspicion that the US military, far from being in the back pocket of the gibbering fundies in the White House, is actually run by relatively sensible men who are dismayed by the direction they're being told to go by their Commander in Chief. Thus, they are quite willing to let the orders they were given make their politico's look bad. After all, they're just doing what they were told by those Micro-Managers in the DoD,and if things go pear-shaped, it's clearly Rumsfeld's fault.
