I believe it was the best thing he could have done, the weapons will be found, and when they are, he will be the only one entitled to any credit. Nobel peace price? probably not, but history will treat him well.
I have been saying this for a long time - history will be kind to this President. History will not be so kind to Kofi - and his grandchildren will be embarassed to carry his name (if they haven't changed it already).
I hope I live long enough to see this happen.
