Indeed, one wonders how Democrats would react if real evidence of weapons of mass destruction, say the discovery of chemical weapon shells, surfaced.

There were no Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq.

From Fox News July, 2004

"We were mortified by the information that terrorists were looking for these warheads and offered $5,000 apiece," Dukaczewski said. "An attack with such weapons would be hard to imagine. All of our activity was accelerated at appropriating these warheads."

Dukaczewski refused to give any further details about the terrorists or the sellers of the munitions, saying only that his troops thwarted terrorists by purchasing the 17 rockets for a Soviet-era launcher and two mortar rounds containing the nerve agent [Sarin] for an undisclosed sum June 23.

WMDs were found, so the goal post was moved to say no stockpiles were found. I am still waiting for a response to the first italicized excerpt.

"WMDS"

I remember that story and the short shrift it was given by the media. They claimed Saddam had no wmds. Well then our troops were attacked by "insurgents" who fired sarin gas projectiles at them. David Kay sneered at the news proclaiming them old. Now farmers in Europe are still being killed occasionally by old shells from WWI. But according to Kay, sarin gas is a harmless agent when it's not brand new. Completely ignoring the fact that our troops had Saddams's WMDS!!!! fired at us and a few of the troops had to be treated for exposure to the agent. But because the terrorists didn't know how to use them properly, the incident was not newsworthy to Kay or Big Media.

The obvious fact is that Hussein had wmds and he had every intention of making more of them. For use against us. The media is just ignoring the wmd elephant in the corner of the room.
