Was it about now? If so, I was overoptimistic when I made it - 6-9 months seems like a better time scale. I don't really expect to find that much, though. It depends on what you mean by a virtual smoking gun. I have been told (there have been some news reports on the subject as well, but I trust the people I spoke to more than the media) that we have pretty good evidence that Iraq was madly destroying weapons in the days before the conflict, and that's probably why we haven't found very much. We have found a mobile weapons lab, though, and various other things that they weren't allowed to have. So I guess it depends on your standards. I wish we had found more, but we haven't found much less than I was expecting at this point in the game.

And Blix wanted to see those SCUDs that they didn't have, the ones raining down on Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.
