US President George W. Bush acknowledged today that the United States has not found banned weapons "we thought" were in Iraq, but defended the war as "the right thing" to do.
"We have not yet found the stockpiles of weapons that we thought were there," Mr Bush said in a speech at the port of Charleston, South Carolina.
However, he said, "Knowing what I knew then and knowing what I know today, America did the right thing in Iraq."
