Oh yeah, we've all heard the reports. Thing is, we already knew about these rusting remnants of the Iran-Iraq war. These are not evidence of any ongoing capability in Iraq to manufacture and use weapons of mass destruction that might threaten neighboring countries, the U.S., or world peace. The current administration had already approved the report stating that the above-mentioned aging chemical weapons do not constitute evidence of prolonged Iraqi WMD manufacture or capability.
You want to know why this story isn't any bigger? First, because the weapons have already been dismissed by the experts. Secondly, because Cheney wants to make sure that the story is just big enough to excite avid Fox-news devotees into feeling that the rationalizations the Bush Administration gave for the Iraqi invasion have been validated, but not so big that the national or international press actually start asking questions. After all, Bush and Cheney and the Republican party don't want reporters asking so many questions that the public is informed that the weapons are actually remnants of an arsenal that is largely destroyed and that dates back to the Iran-Iraq War when the Reagan administration turned the other cheek when Iraq began using illegal weapons to eliminate their enemies and when Bush continued to negotiate deals with Saddam Hussein (using Rumsfeld as his go-between) including the sale of the very chemicals that were used to manufacture these arms.
Cheney wants Fox News to report the story but doesn't want the rest of the world knowing that the only WMD's Saddam Hussein had in Iraq are weapons we've known about for a very long time...because we sold them to him!

If it were true that they found the WMD's that the administration went on and on and on and on about then Bush and his cronies would be screaming if from the mountain tops. The fact that they found a stock pile of old, ineffective ordinance from before the first gulf war does not make the administration's previous claim so. There are no WMD's that they claimed were there. There is nothing there to cause that ominous "mushroom cloud" that Condi LIED about. It simply was not and is not true. STOP drinking the administration Kool-Aid and think for yourself!

Anyone who reads or watches the news should know that 450,000 tons of high explosives were found when Saddam was driven out of Baghdad, in addition to a dozen drums of the old but still potent poison gas that Saddam used to kill thousands of Kurdish civilians. A lot of the explosives were stolen back by Iraqi insurgents before the ammo dumps could be adequately guarded, and these are still showing up as improvised explosive devices (IED's). I have also personally seen photos of two mach-2 Russian Fox-Bat fighters being dug out ouf the sand in Iraq by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, but do not believe that these were never shown to the American public by the media. Sure there were WMD's.

Dude, get over it, even the Administration said that these were not the WMDs that we went to war for. READING IS FUNDAMENTAL!!! you scream about people only watch 3 minutes of news, yet all you did was look at the headline.
It's great that you forget that Rummy even said he knew where the WMDs were 40 minutes before we got to Baghdad. He even pointed at a map to show the Administration knew where they were.
Nice to know you guys only want half the facts...

Wether you have seen evidence or no longer is irrelevant. it is labeled textile and you do no longer could desire to be sure it. In a speech given only after the commencing up of the Iraqi conflict, Hillary Clinton pronounced that she seen the evidencve and individually desperate that the reason replace into justified, and that Saddam represented a "sparkling and modern-day probability". She at the instant denies seeing something of the type, even although video and audio recordings of the speech are nonetheless modern-day immediately. So, if Hillary will admit that they the place there, what do you think of? there is no distinction. We went to conflict over organic and organic weapons, in case you have been below the impact that we the place finding for nukes, it is your concern. sure they have. the challenge is that the liberals obtainable (which includes your self) refuse to permit protection stress action against the Syrians. it is a classic case of Democrats telling Republicans to unravel a concern and then tying their hands. there have been tries to realize this on Syria, however the democrats interior the congress and senate have been blockading the tries.

They found WMD's that sadamn has had since he used them on the kurds in the 80's. They found no new chemical...biological or nuclear weapons. When Powell was at the U.N. he showed us pictures of trucks for making new weapons. He told us they were buying tubes and enriching uranium. Wheres all that stuff?
It's cute how repukes are twisting the story....but no one is really buying your B.S. The white house didn't even try to build up the story because they knew there was nothing to it.

At last - an opening to vent! Yes, I saw the senators on FOXNEWS (the one and only channel from which I get national and international news).
I am sincerely and totally convinced that somewhere buried in the land of tunnels, rocks and sand (Iraq) there is a cache of WMDs. We know, from the thousands of dead gassed bodies, that Saddam had and used them, he did not provide proof that he destroyed them, did not let inspectors in for four years -- how can anyone deny they exist? What do people think happened to them? Maybe they need to deny WMDs exist because if they don't, they will be frightened like people like me.

The prior administration and a number of other Democrats claimed that Saddam had WMDs...until Bush took office. Why doesn't anyone complain that THEY lied to us?

The Bush haters do not care about the truth. They live to fabricate stories about the administration and have the left wing media report it. Reality is something the dummycrats do not place much faith in. Fantasies are better especially the one of their getting control of the congress this year.
