Breaking news: 500 nuclear bombs (weapons of mass destruction) have been located in Iraq. Personally, I believed they were there from the beginning, but what about you? Now that this news has been released, do you think the Liberal, anti-war position has been wounded? Will the President benefit from this in the polls?

Edit: Over the period of the Iraqi war, 500 chemical weapons (sorry 'bout that). This was reported by Senator Rick Santorum.

Breaking news -- your brain has not been found.
"500 nuclear bombs (weapons of mass destruction)...?
D'oh! Hard to make any serious response to such abysmal ignorance as you've displayed.
To all the idiots who think we went to war in Iraq over WMD's, maybe you can sit on your hands long enough to watch Frontline: "The Dark Side." (Original air date 20 June.) You can watch it online in its entirety Thursday, June 22, or just read about it. Link below.

Jeez, does Bush pay you to spread these inane lies? He pays talk show hosts, so why not inflammatory idiots like YOU?
EDIT:
Arch-hawk Rick Santorum is hardly to be trusted or believed. His report is a manipulation of the "finds." Most of the ""weapons" found were EMPTY. What was discovered was a batch of ordnance that at one time apparently had been loaded with warheads of various types of chemical materials. Very, very few functional chemical weapons were found, and all at locations indicating they would not have been deployed in battle (remember, the US is STILL disposing of chemical and biological ordnance stockpiled since before WWII - possession of this weaponry does not guarantee its use, as all the belligerents of WWII demonstrated).
On top of all this, the "news" is NOT "news". We heard about this years ago and the claim of the neo-cons that there WERE "weapons of mass destruction" poised to be used on the U.S. homeland was fully discredited - AGAIN.
WHY do you people persist in defending known LIES?

I already know about these...
• Found: 1.77 metric tons of enriched uranium
• Found: 1,500 gallons of chemical weapons
• Found: Roadside bomb loaded with sarin gas
• Found: 1,000 radioactive materials--ideal for radioactive dirty bombs
• Found: 17 chemical warheads--some containing cyclosarin, a nerve agent five times more powerful than sarin
Are these 500 other WMDs a new discovery?
And to anyone who believes that "these" WMDs aren't the WMDs that we went in to get, you are so wrong. We went in to get ANY and ALL WMDs. If you now say, after all the "Bush lied about WMDs" crap, that these ones don't count, I, and many others, will lose all respect for you.

Yes, I would figure out that by now they would've found a LOT more than that...I mean, they have so many soldiers doing things that don't need to be done!!!Like putting soldiers in the frontier of U.S. Mexico, especially when there is a was going on, we need them to be in the Middle East where they are needed, if the U.S. Mexico frontier was a menace then there would've been a terrorist attack a VERY long time ago!!!

Fox News is reporting they are mustard gas munitions from pre 1990, not nuclear weapons. If you are a republican you should listen to what Fox News is saying right now about it.
We didn't send 135000 troops to recover a bunch of old mustard bombs...

dont you agree with me that one of you is
very stupid ,either the iraqies for not using all this weapons against the invassion forces,or you who belive that the iraqies spend so much mony just to store the weapons.be logical.and stop this parotic repititions about wmd,and its transfer to syria.
president bush himself declaired that the intelligence about wmd was wrong.and now you say it exist.

I dont think they were nukes, but were (I think) artillery rounds filled with chemical weapons.......though that DOES count for the WMD thing.

I see nothing on news.yahoo.com about this. So, if true, that might answer your question right there. Where did you hear this?
