BBC denies weapons of mass destruction found in Iraq

From The BBC

In another "so called" Analysis By Nick Assinder, The BBC denies WMDs have been found in Iraq despite the finding of two chmeical shells.

Saddam Hussein has been captured, but his weapons of mass destruction have still not been found.

I guess Nick doesn't read the news much, at least not CNN.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The recent discovery of two chemical artillery shells in Iraq has raised concerns among weapons inspectors that other shells may turn up in the hands of insurgents battling American troops, the head of the U.S. search team said Wednesday.

[...]

The Iraq Survey Group reported last fall that it had found evidence of weapons research that Iraqis had concealed from U.N. inspectors.


And CNN reported that three days ago! The BBC seem to get more incompetent everyday.

Later in the article Nick has this to say:

Now there is genuine speculation over whether he [Blair] will actually fight that election as leader.

To be a little fair to Nick, his article was posted at 3:38 AM UK time. Barely five hours later there is this news ticker update at the top of the BBC main web page.

LATEST: Tony Blair confirms he intends to lead Labour at the next election. More soon.

There is no analysis here; these are the ramblings of a guy who couldn't sleep at three in the morning. Yawn!
