In a press interview on May 30, 2003, Lt. Gen. James Conway, “Commander of the US Marines in Iraq, was blunt about both the scale of the effort [to find WMD] and the paucity of the result: ‘It’s not for lack of trying. We’ve been to virtually every ammunition supply point between the Kuwaiti border and Baghdad, but they’re simply not there. We were simply wrong.’ ”
