SAN FRANCISCO, CA - 18 year old Jacob Stedman, an "internet enthusiast" and avid War Craft 3 gamer, announced today that his extensive survey of Iraq using Google's widely available "Satellite" imaging has revealed "positively no weapons of mass destruction."

Today marks the close of Mr. Stedman's week long foray into a consumer based weapons hunt. What began as an apprehensive search for an attractive coworker's house ended as arguably the most timely and surprisingly inexpensive intelligence report ever available to the public.

"Yeah, it was really easy to do," says Mr. Stedman, pouring milk over a bowl of Count Chocula. " I just got bored and realized, hey, I have an opportunity to use mass-available, consumer technology to help our situation in Iraq. Sure enough, I Googled it - and I was looking at the green, fertile Tigris and Euphrates river valley."

But where were the bombs? Where were the phoshorous grenade plants? Where were the thermonuclear aluminum tubing sites?

"Sometimes, it's kind of hard to make out what's actually, like, a park or a building, because the resolution isn't great. It makes it difficult to spot actual weapons. But I'm convinced they aren't there, now more than ever."

Google, the Mountain View, CA based internet mogul, has declined to comment on Mr. Stedman's findings, but did mention in brief that, "obviously, this kid's a f***ing moron."

"Look," says Mr. Stedman, "now that Google has made Satellite technology available to the people, we have pretty much the same intelligence that the U.S. military has, or ever did have. Now any citizen can go look it up, and be able to prove that, no, no there aren't any WMD's in Iraq."

Mr. Stedman urges all opposed to the war to go to Google, type in "Iraq," and click "Images." Then, he says, right click, save as a JPEG, and email it (optimized to under 500K prefferably) to the white house.

"If they didn't have proof before, they have it now. We have no business being in Iraq." The White House has failed to comment on the emerging news, though in a passing remark to a Washington Post journalist, Secretary of Defense Donald Rummsfeld mentioned that "the piss-poor resolution and innacurate imaging technology Google offers to billions of internet users" were probably working against Mr. Stedman.
