When do you liberals suppose these weapons became unusable? In the near past or distant past? I hear that this chemical is deadly still today. Does a felon get a pardon for having old bullets in his gun? Do old bullets not kill as well as new bullets? Do you liberals not understand the black and white of illegal weapons and the possession of banned weapons? Is this another grey area for you bleeding heart liberals? Can you not be pleased by progress in the war on terrorism and the removal of deadly weapons getting in the hands of murderers like those who cut off the heads of innocent civilians trying to help rebuild a country and provide a better life for it's citizens? You guys are so blind!

They were already unavailable, forgotten and degraded so that they were no longer deadly. They were from before the first Iraq War and there is no reason to suspect that Saddam even knew of their existence, nevermind the fact that they were degraded and not deadly.

My thoughts are, didn't saddam say there wasn't any chemical weapons at all in his country?......
But really, it only takes a little sarin gas to harm a great deal of people. I guess it all depends on how potent it really was.

Intelligence officials:
"We assess that they are not in condition to be used as DESIGNED. And detailed analysis of the toxic agents shows they are degraded and represent a much LOWER hazard," he said.
I'm not trying to spin the situation, but I think there needs to be more clarity in how potent it was, to know how dangerous it was; and I guess I need to revisit if Saddam said he had absolutely no chemical agents left.

TO the guy who said "don't be a friggin moron", you are the moron for holding a grudge for losing two election to Bush. Get over it and live a normal life, Gore lost, Kerry lost and now you are attacking the winner as any sore loser would do. Get a life and get over the past elections, you will be much happier when you do.
