No WMD In Iraq? Blame It On God

This is pretty funny:

[S]ome of the president's allies are still out there, arguing creatively that the WMD are real and may still be found. Last week, it was Fox News military analyst Thomas McInerney, a retired Air Force Lt. Gen., who insisted that Russian Special Forces entered Iraq before the invasion and moved the WMD to Syria.

Oddly enough, as
The New Republic reported, around the same time, another White House ally had an even more imaginative idea about the missing weapons.
Bill Tierney, who served as a U.N. weapons inspector in Iraq in the late '90s, told National Review Online this week that he would look to God to direct him to possible WMD sites. "God is my intel," Tierney told NRO. His belief in the existence of a uranium-enrichment plant near Tarmiyah was supported, he said, by the fact that a friend had seen it in a dream.
Indeed, Tierney is quite the theorist. He also said that Iraq was behind the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, and the 2001 anthrax attacks. In time, Tierney believes, all of his ideas will be vindicated.
