Bush addressing the troops:

“We’re on the look. We’ll reveal the truth,” Bush said, without specifically promising weapons would be found. “But one thing is certain: no terrorist network will gain weapons of mass destruction from the Iraqi regime because the Iraqi regime is no more.”

Right. Unless the weapons really were there, and the terrorists found them first. The only way he can make this claim with any confidence is if he knows that there were never any weapons to find. Either that, or he’s hanging a whole lot on a tight reading of the word ‘from’.
