Wolfowitz, Rumsfield admit Iraq WMDs politically convenient
'"For bureaucratic reasons we settled on one issue, weapons of mass destruction, because it was the one reason everyone could agree on," Mr Wolfowitz tells the magazine. The comments suggest that, even for the US administration, the logic that was presented for going to war may have been an empty shell. They come to light, moreover, just two days after Mr Wolfowitz's immediate boss, Donald Rumsfeld, the Defence Secretary, conceded for the first time that the arms might never be found. The failure to find a single example of the weapons that London and Washington said were inside Iraq only makes the embarrassment more acute.'

The arrogance and nakedness of Wolfowitz and Rumsfeld however is an embarrassment for Blair, who continues to say with a straight face that WMDs will be found.
