Report: Hundreds of WMDs Found in Iraq
Thursday, June 22, 2006

WASHINGTON — The United States has found 500 chemical weapons in Iraq since 2003, and more weapons of mass destruction are likely to be uncovered, two Republican lawmakers said Wednesday.

"We have found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, chemical weapons," Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., said in a quickly called press conference late Wednesday afternoon.

Reading from a declassified portion of a report by the National Ground Intelligence Center, a Defense Department intelligence unit, Santorum said: "Since 2003, coalition forces have recovered approximately 500 weapons munitions which contain degraded mustard or sarin nerve agent. Despite many efforts to locate and destroy Iraq's pre-Gulf War chemical munitions, filled and unfilled pre-Gulf War chemical munitions are assessed to still exist."

If they don't find about 500 times that much, it won't count in the eyes of the media.

That is very true, but that is still a lot of nerve agents that he had.

Anti-Bush talking points: Those aren't the wmd's we went to war for!


I'm so glad the dems haven't figured out yet that every argument they marshall against the war in Iraq makes them come off as pro-Saddamists in Joe Public's eyes.......

Anti-Bush talking points: Those aren't the wmd's we went to war for!

*COUGH*

Offering the official administration response to FOX News, a senior Defense Department official pointed out that the chemical weapons were not in useable conditions.

"This does not reflect a capacity that was built up after 1991," the official said, adding the munitions "are not the WMDs this country and the rest of the world believed Iraq had, and not the WMDs for which this country went to war."

See.....

[mdklatt]

See.....

You actually read what I posted, right? In particular the bolded portions of the text from Fox News?

[jk the sooner fan]

the liberals want us to find an actual working atom bomb buried in the desert with the words "F*** YOU GEORGE BUSH" written on it in chalk

[C&CDean]

C'mon klatt. Give it a ****ing rest. So, they find a bunch of WMDs - old ones, unusable ones, but WMD none-the-less. And what's the administration to do? Go "yup, those old rusty bombs are the ones we went to war over."??

Everyone, including your beloved Clinton et. al. believed there were USABLE WMDs over there. It's just pathetic that you idiots continue to act like the cowardly fence-riders you are.

[Pricetag]

You guys are kidding yourselves if you think some kind of liberal media conspiracy could keep this administration from executing a righteous "in your face" of epic proportions if they ever did find serious WMDs.

The fact of the matter is that these aren't them, and it shouldn't matter anyway. It's about much more than that anyway, isn't it?

[Mongo]

Hey Klatt, for once why dont you give the military a pat on the back? The WMD's are in Iraq, currently unusable, but probably could have been brought back to operational status. There is no chance of this stuff getting in the hands of terrorists. You need to cheer up and quit being a negative nancy.

[hurricane'bone]

i don't know why we are yelling!!!!

[mdklatt]

You obviously have no idea what my position on the war is. I was just pointing out the irony of this:

Anti-Bush talking points: Those aren't the wmd's we went to war for!

Juxtaposed with this:

not the WMDs for which this country went to war

But thanks for pointing out that we shouldn't take everything the government tells us at face value.

[jk the sooner fan]

i think its funny that all of the sudden, an official administration comment is taken at its word, without question

if they had said "these are the weapons we went to war over".......mklatt and his buddies would be screaming 'LIE LIE LIE"

but since the message suits their purpose, 'yeah see what they said? thats right"

incredible

[mdklatt]

Okay, I admit it, the government is full of ****.

[swardboy]

Dare anyone to take a sniff in one of those "degraded" sarin shells....

[C&CDean]

Okay, I admit it, I am full of ****.

Won't get any argument from me.

[mdklatt]

I love how "mdklatt doesn't hate fags" is automatically equivalent to "mdklatt is an anti-war liberal", despite ample evidence to the contrary.
