Article from October 24th, 2010: Wikileaks: Saddam's WMD program existed in Iraq
The Examiner ^ | October 24th, 2010 | Jim Kouri

The recent release by WikiLeaks of classified Pentagon documents reveals that U.S. military intelligence discovered chemical weapons labs, encountered insurgents who were specialists in the creation of toxins, and uncovered weapons of mass destruction.

The latest WikiLeaks document dump reveals that as late as 2008, American troops continued to find WMD in the region.

There are numerous mentions of chemical and biological weapons in the WikiLeaks documents, however the U.S. media appear only interested in those portions of the leaked material that highlight actions that are viewed as embarrassing for the U.S. military such as the accusation that U.S. commanders were aware of abuse and "torture" of prisoners by Iraqi soldiers and police officers.

The U.S. Defense Department continues to demand that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange immediately return the stolen military documents in his possession, including recent documents that created another stir when published, according to Elaine Wilson of American Forces Press Service.

And yet, President Bush continues to insist there were NO WMD found.

Color me confounded.

We allowed the left to insist that centrifuges found were for pharmaceutical use. I’ll be they were !!!!!

And the surveillance videos of trucks carrying WMD to Syria were widely viewed in the media.

e sold them dual use chemicals and equipment. We did not sell them a single chemical weapon . They turned the chemicals, such as fertilizer and other stuff into the chemical weapons. The US was not a top arms seller to the Iraqis ad most of the chemicals that wet to the manufacturer of chemical weapons came from France ad Germany iirc.
