I enjoyed my 1st Montercristo cigar last weekend. It was the Montercristo no.4. It was excellent, hint of nut, good draw and it burnt well, it’s one of cheaper and most popular of the habano’s. I was living the high-life at the Cambie, drinking Stella and smoking a cigar there just seemed weird, but the sunshine was out in full-force and they had a patio so…

nuff said.

In case any of you didn’t know, the whole weapons of mass destruction was a joke.

WASHINGTON – The CIA’s top weapons inspector in Iraq has ended his hunt for weapons of mass destruction.

Charles Duelfer posted his findings online in the form of an addendum to his October 2004 report that concluded former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction, but wanted them.

“As matters now stand, the WMD investigation has gone as far as feasible,” wrote Duelfer, head of the Iraq Survey Group. “After more than 18 months, the WMD investigation and debriefing of the WMD-related detainees has been exhausted.”

He concluded it was “unlikely that an official transfer” of weapons of mass destruction between Iraq and Syria occurred, but couldn’t rule out shipments of “limited WMD-related materials.”

U.S. President George W. Bush used the presence of weapons of mass destruction as a key argument for the invasion of Iraq.

Duelfer did warn that Saddam’s weapons programs produced a number of Iraqi weapons specialists. While many will look for civil sector jobs, others could provide help to “hostile foreign governments, terrorists or insurgents.”

As many as 1,000 weapons inspectors and translators formed the survey group in Iraq, which officially disbanded last month.
