WTF Is It Now?!?

US finds 'no illegal Iraqi arms'
An elite US special forces unit secretly hunting for banned Iraqi arms since the start of war has not found any evidence of their existence, it was reported.

Task Force 20, the American army's top commando unit, was deployed to Iraq ahead of the ground invasion to search sites suspected of containing chemical, biological or nuclear arms before they could be hidden or destroyed.

Its speed and advanced detection technology - including DNA testing and mobile laboratories - gave it a huge advantage over the 75th Exploitation Task Force, the conventional military unit looking for weapons.

But despite an extensive search, it has found no evidence of an illegal arms program that was cited by the US government as a justification for invading Iraq, American officials told The Washington Post.

A former UN weapons inspector has claimed every intelligence lead from America and the UK about Saddam's alleged banned arms was "absolute rubbish".

British-born chemical engineer Steve Allison said that in the three months he worked in Iraq before the war, inspection teams were often sent to sites named by the US and British, where no evidence of weapons was found.

He said: "As to whether they find anything now, I seriously doubt it. And even if they do, there is no one there to independently verify it."
