WMDs….No Way….Just sarin and mustard gas

No, no…Bush lied. There were no WMDs. None. Except for a few shells that the Poles found, oh, and:

According to numerous sources but not yet on the wires, Senator Rick Santorum announced a few minutes ago that the US has found 500 chemical-weapons shells in Iraq. Hot Air has the hot link for what little data exists thus far. Apparently, some of the shells contained sarin and others mustard gas. No word has come yet on when and where the US found these munitions.

Which of course can’t be true because if it was then Bush didn’t lie and it is an article of faith among the left that he did…

Wow! A major announcement that contradicts and reverses every report (including those commissioned by the Bush Administration), public statement (even by Bush), every conventional wisdom, that proves that indeed there was merit in going to war in Iraq that the war was justified despite everything you read everywhere these days, and it is announced… by the junior senator for Pennsylvannia?????

This couldn’t have anything to do with Santorum desperate and failing bid to get re-elected in November could it? Nah. Santorum wouldn’t be so crass, would he. Would he?

I’ll put this coming announcement in my calendar right beside the imminent Rove indictment announcement.

Oh, and you may want to check through all of his updates. Seems that the “announcement” is merely a summary of everything that’s been found since 2003, the weapons are from the first Gulf War or not deployable, and it likely doesn’t come close to 500.

Like I said in my first comment.

They’re not for mustard gas, they’re for dispersing ‘Febreeze’. Iraq ia kinda stinky what with all those goats roaming around, y’know? Gotta be able to call in the military so to freshen things up.

Jay - don’t be do desperate over WMDs. No one in the Bush administration cares anymore, cites them anymore or relies on them anymore. 2003 was not a great year for your geo-political hopes and we can just agree to leave it at that.

It’s ok, though. You got excited. 2003 is three years ago. It was bad but it was three years ago…

I was going to say that you need to see the Washington Post article that dates these discoveries and shows how they were old and inactive, but it appears others have beaten me to it.

No worries Jay, we all need a good healthy dose of skepticism now and again to keep us paying attention.
