Hundreds of WMD found in Iraq
Imagine that...
Well, it was only a matter of time. Here's a Link to one news story, and I'm sure you will here more on this in the coming days. From the story:
Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) and Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-Mich.) announced Wednesday the finding of over 500 munitions or weapons of mass destruction, specifically "sarin- and mustard-filled projectiles," in Iraq.
Reading from unclassified portions of a document developed by the U.S. intelligence community, 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."
According to Santorum, "That means in addition to the 500, there are filled and unfilled munitions still believed to exist within the country."
Well, let's see, what will be the spin from the left on this one in the coming days? Oh, that's a very small amount of WMD; This isn't enough justification for the 2500 soldiers that have died; It doesn't matter what happens in Iraq, the left will downplay it because they can't get on board. They can't possibly admit that this was the right thing to do. If they do that, they lose the only political pieces they have to play. Lord knows they don't have any ideas of their own.
It will be interesting to see if the MSM does anything with this story. People do need to realize, this is a big deal. Bottom line, Saddam lied about destroying these weapons and we have no reason to believe he would hesitate to use them or sell them to bin Laden. We know he had dealings with bin Laden in the past, according to a 1999 ABC News report (Real Player Video or click HERE for MP3 Audio). Why would we think he wasn't capable of dealing with him again?
