Rumsfeld says it would be unfortunate if no WMD

From an AP story in the NY Times http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/international/AP-Iraq-Weapons-Hunt.html

Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said Thursday ``it will be unfortunate'' if it turns out that intelligence used to justify the war in Iraq turns out to have been seriously flawed.

Meanwhile, Congress heard a secret progress report from the top official hunting for weapons of mass destruction the Bush administration said justified the war. Defense officials refused to say publicly how much they are spending on the so-far inconclusive search.

Rumsfeld's comments came at a Pentagon news conference in which he was asked if he still believes such weapons will be found and whether the administration's credibility is suffering because of poor intelligence on the issue.

``It's not clear that it was off by a little bit or a mile at this stage,'' he said. ``If it is off by a lot, that will be unfortunate and then we'll know that.''

Yeah, the dead and wounded soldiers and their families would categorize it as unfortunate. I'm sure. Dripping with sarcasm.
