"WASHINGTON — The United States has found 500 chemical weapons in Iraq since 2003, and more weapons of mass destruction are likely to be uncovered, two Republican lawmakers said Wednesday."
Yes, it's from Fox news, which is known to have conservative bias; and even more of note, the news comes from "Republican lawmakers". That doesn't necessarily mean it's false though - if you're a "Republican", you're going to believe it; if you're a "Liberal", you're not going to believe it - regardless of the facts.
I cannot find another source for this story, but then, one would hardly expect liberally-biased media to report it, so what you gonna do. Media companies make their money from entertaining people, not reporting facts - some choose to appeal to the conservative audience, some to the liberal audience, that's how business works.
Slightly off-topic though; pro-Bush or anti-Bush, you gotta love people who claim the whole war was about oil. Watch them become silent when you ask the simple question: Where's the oil?

Is it fabricated that biological weapons and chemical weapons were not used? Might I add that the huge Poppy industry for Hashish is there and it does destroy lives worldwide. I think not. What dictator was it that once said a nation that is anesthetized is the one most easily conquered? Was It Nikita of Russia or Lenin? The UN does control your new over there don't they! Taken your sovereignty too didn't they. We'll see what you do if you get tough in Iran...they'll beat you down on your own turf the way they have been in front of your churches in England. When uncle Habib shows up and turn WMDS loose on you then let us know if they really have them. Will you convert to Islam or die? You people didn't beleive Hitler was a threat, until he was sitting in your lap. They find Hitler and his theories admirable! Good Day!

We've found over 500 warheads filled with gas. Mostly 152 mm shells, a couple of SCUD warheads. Various types- some binary, some organophospate derivatives, loads of simple chlorine. Few dates on the shells, but by external appearance they ranged from 20 year old (or more) to "off the production line" stuff.
Source? Chemical recon unit. Now in Poland.
Why no media coverage? I guess because it would make Kennedy and Kerry look stupid- and that would never do. Officially we're told it's just "small amounts" and not newsworthy

"Why then, has no evidence been presented to the international community? It would take so much pressure off the traitors who advocate the illegal invasions of other sovereign states. "
No edvidence presented to the international community???? Every intelligence agency from all of our allies agreed there were WMD's.
At least 4 people so far have posted at least 15 links to maintstream coverage of the WMD's being found such as CNN, ABC, FOX, everyone. Also, we found them when we went in in 1991 in Kuwait, also he used chemical weapons (WMD's) to kill hundreds of kurds.
What more do you people want? How do you think Bush lied? If there were any real evidence of this don't you think our democratic owned house and senate would be burrying him up to his teeth in impeachment?

The fact of the matter is that chemical weapons were found. In fact my unit found two mustard-gas artillery shells.
At the time all of these discoveries were classified because we wanted to make sure we found them all before letting the news out. Now - they fact that you have not heard about it means that you should start questioning the accuracy of what these 'experts' (none of whom have ever been in Iraq) are telling you.

Here's a little hint:
The UK is 45% Muslims so needless to say that they are most everywhere even in the UK media. Do you think they are going to print one thing against their own people? I think not. That would be like turning yourself in for their form of justice...death.

Santorum pointed out that during Wednesday's debate, several Senate Democrats said that no weapons of mass destruction had been found in Iraq, a claim, he said, that the declassified document proves is untrue.
"This is an incredibly — in my mind — significant finding. The idea that, as my colleagues have repeatedly said in this debate on the other side of the aisle, that there are no weapons of mass destruction, is in fact false," he said

We were all told that. That is what the Bush Administrators used in invading Iraq.
It has been said that he needed people in his administration to find things that would give him reason to invade.
Then he used Powell to push the program through by saying that Iraq had these big trailers that were chemical and biological refineries.
And when the article came out that said that there was no plans that Iraq was buying refined uranium from Africa coming from the husband of Valerie Plane they exposed her to the media.
Pres. Bush used every means that he could find to use to convince the country to invade. Mostly fiction.

These we weapons buried after the first Gulf War in 1991 and appears to have been forgotten about. They are so rusted and badly decayed that they would have been more of a threat to the Iraqis than any enemy. These are not the "smoking gun" people claim them to be.

I cant believe I am still hearing of people that say weapons of mass destruction were found. Bush says there were none found. If there were some found, certainly mister george hitler would be ecstatic in making it public. They did have chemical weapons at one time, which were provided to them (and they were encouraged to use) by Pres. Reagan.
Those weapons if any remain are now totally useless.
