Blair says WMD may never be found

Prime Minister Tony Blair has admitted that biological and chemical weapons, which he once insisted Saddam Hussein had primed for use, may never be found.
In parliamentary testimony on Tuesday, the prime minister also insisted he had exerted real influence over Washington’s approach to post-war Iraq and defended his close ties with President George W. Bush.
“We know Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction but we know we haven’t found them,” Blair said. “I have to accept we have not found them, that we may not find them.”
Blair persuaded reluctant politicians to back war on Iraq last year on the basis that Baghdad had illegal weapons and could use them at any time.
A now notorious dossier, released in September 2002, said some of them could have been let loose within 45 minutes of an order to do so.
Yet more than a year after Saddam was toppled, no such weapons have been found. Blair’s public trust ratings have withered over the same period.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
