Someone stumbled across 500 chemical weapons in Iraq.

WMD.

Sarin and Mustard Gas.

Geeze. I thought Saddam had gotten rid of this stuff.

Do you have some evidence to show us or did you just read the new Republican talking points?

I couldn't find anything on BBC, MSNBC, CBS, or CNN. Finally found the following on Fox.

HAHAHA! I just watched the video, go here to see it:

First off, excuse me if I don't believe a press confrence hosted by Sean "I'm a raging nutbar" Hannity and Rick "I hate homos" Santorum. They're both known liars and scumbags.

The weapons are old pre-1991 shells. Check out all the supporting info and even the DOD is not backing these wingnuts. This is all just an attempt to wheel out some old mustard gas shells that the US and Europe gave/facilitated/advised Saddam on in the past. Nice try, keep drinking the kool aid.

You can spin it any way you want.

500 chemical warheads is a story.

It at least proves that the weapon's inspectors didn't do their jobs.

It also proves that Saddam is a liar.

There's no getting around that.

One more thing. If the inspectors missed that...

Defense Department Disavows Santorum�s WMD Claims
Today, Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) and Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-MI) held a press conference and announced �we have found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.� Santorum and Hoekstra are hyping a document that describes degraded, pre-1991 munitions that were already acknowledged by the White House�s Iraq Survey Group and dismissed.

Fox News� Jim Angle contacted the Defense Department who quickly disavowed Santorum and Hoekstra�s claims. A Defense Department official told Angle flatly that the munitions hyped by Santorum and Hoekstra are �not the WMD�s for which this country went to war.�

I'm still of the belief that many weapons were spirited away into Syria. The border was wide open during and right after major hostilities.

And people still believe the Republicans are sincere and would never manipulate public opinion nor lie!!!!!!!!

They have continually just offered up "disinformation" which is by any other word lies. God, making Colin Powell even lie!

Planting glowing stories in Iraq newspapers? No problem! Rewriting history with new facts come to light? No problem! Having press conferences saying the war is won, peace will reign? No problem! Saying the insurgents are all foreign recruits? No problem! Say, N.Korea is ready to take over the world? No problem! Say young kids walking along the street in Pakistan are terrorists and lock them up for life? No problem! Say, continually say, false estimates of battle deaths? No problem!

I get sick of all the misinformation -- how so many news reports are Americans killed 45 insurgents (never mentioning the 10-15 or 20 civilians) and suffered 3 wounded!!!! God, it is all a lie!

This story is just another example of a "regime" in America that controls information -- the very definition of dictatorship. Freedom? Have another drink, it will all be right in the end!!!

If only there were a government that told it straight! No matter what they did, atleast I could respect them......

Even if it's true, at this point there's been plenty of time to bring WMD in from elsewhere. Iraq's borders have been anything but on an airtight lockdown.
I guess what rankles a lot of people was the message this admin was sending out that they would find piles and piles of WMD the moment they stepped into Iraq--which they didn't.

It does not surprise me that, in spite of the fact this war is not over, and consequently all relevant information and data are probably not on the table, posters are so quick to defend their partisan interests to the death. This is mostly a board of emotionally-driven ideologues, and not thinkers.

Someone should take a poll, given the allegations about transference to Syria and this recent discovery...how many posters are willing to suspend judgment?

The anti-W. Bush mob will never, ever accept any evidence at all that there were any weapons of mass destruction in Saddam's Iraq. The entire allegation was an evil, cynical lie, exposing a corrupt U.S. dictatorship for what it really is.

On the other hand, W. Bush's supporters will seize at any straw to argue that the entire endeavor was justified. (But these were pre-1991 weapons stores, and not even serviceable, right?)

In any case, I suspect we will see many "new and interesting" things turn up as time goes on in postSaddam Iraq, and, also, whatever all of the facts may be, and whatever conclusion these data may project, I am glad that no terrorist or insurgent got their hands on these weapons.

And Canuckistan: who do you think might have imported these obsolete weapons, why would they do such a thing, and why do you suspect this (besides the border issue)? Are you just speculating or do you know something?
