(CNSNews.com) - Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) and Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-Mich.) announced Wednesday the discovery of more than 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."

Answer 1

No one talks about the WMDs because it has been agreed upon fact by those who opposed the preemptive attack on Iraq, and reluctantly by the warmongers on the Right, that no real WMDs of any significant quantity were found there that could be of any threat to the United States. Whatever was found in Iraq is of such grade and quantity as could be found in any area of the world, not to mention any redneck's backyard with delusions of apocalyptic revolution.

Answer 2

Because that has been a major liberal sticking point to call the justifications for going in false. The truth is, while we have not found the quantities that we were looking for, the quantities that we did find are still enough to cause mass havok and distruction in the wrong hands. While sarin gas has a very short half life, mustard agent can be lethal for a very long time. Just a year ago we got reports from Army EOD techs that were exposed to mustard agent believed to be from WWII - and they had to be hospitalized for severe chemical reactions to the agent.

Answer 3

Yeah, I'm sure it's already been said on here before, but they're '80s era artillary shells, and the sarin, mustard gas, etc. couldn't even be used anymore it's so old. I've read the press release (as well as heard it), and they would be a moderate skin irritant at best. And of course they're there, because WE sold them to Iraq 20 someodd years ago. Also, if he had so many wmd's, don't you think he would have used something when we invaded? He must be a pretty nice guy to have exercised such restraint, or he didn't have them, its up to you to decide I guess...

Answer 4

Ok I will try not to be mean to you, but did you hear the department of defense say, that these 20 yr old mustard gas cannisters were not what they were looking for? (Mind you its not the "liberal media" but the department of defense that said this.) So these are not the WMD they were looking for. Let me remind you its not the "liberal media" but the department of defense that said this.

So why the fück can't you get that dildo out of your a$$ and realize that no WMD was found in Iraq? I mean the government said it ok. THE GOVERNMENT SAID THAT NO WMD WAS FOUND. Yes the same government you are trying to defend. So what are you talking about?

And the neo-cons go on and on about the WMDs. I say there is no fücking way to argue with these mofos. Someone should come up with a "shoot neocons" contest. Can we declare a prize? A dollar for a neocon!

Answer 5

You need to post the entire article , the part that goes on to state that both analysts involved concluded that these weapons did not qualify as weapons of mass distruction; they were so old (some of the WWI generation munitions) that the chemicals were no longer effective and would cause little more than a skin rash.

Check it out, its there.

Answer 6

Bush lovers! Even if you take away the no wmd stuff, he is still a total suck*** as a president! And those shells dont amount to what they were saying Iraq had! Come on Bushies get over it! He is bankrupting AMERICA! Our great, great grandkids will have to pay for this mistake in Iraq, and wherever else this idiot decides that they can make the most money out of!

Answer 7

Rick Santorum is desperately trying to put himself in the spotlight ever since he's discovered that the people of Pennsylvania are going to toss him out on his butt this November. The so-called WMDs that he claimed were found were disavowed by the Pentagon before the end of the day after he made his unfounded claim.

Answer 8

Because the libs hung their entire opposition to the war on not finding WMD. Lots of people want to minimize the quality of the finds.
The weapons were 20 years old- They were ordered to destroy them, and did not . Why?
The empty weapons lab. - Why do you build a weapons lab?
Saddam gave the world every indication that he was is fact keeping WMD. What he did is analogous to "suicide by cop" If a hostage taker rushes out of the building and points an unloaded gun at the cops, and they shoot him, who is to blame? Stop hating your country!

Answer 9

I heard about them at least two years ago, and the libs just laughed it off then. It's not news for people that have their eyes open, and the libs are still in disbelief. They will continue with their Bush lied chants, like a million brainless zombies cloned in the from of Cindy SheHAMM.

The story sure went away quick tho, didnt it?

Answer 10

The point is that Iraq had nothing to do with 911. N. Korea has had WMD for years and the people need freedom to. Were are you on that front?
