I want my apology from the DUmmies, the KOKOs, and the 'RATs who bleated, "Bush lied, thousands died."

Maybe, but this story broke a few hours ago and hasn't been picked up anywhere.

Yep. Why should W tell the enemy that they can find WMD in Iraq?

W cares more for the troops then the polls.

"...the libs on the show said that these WMD were not the ones the President was talking about when he got us into this war."

Ah, yes, the ol' backpedalling gambit..... it will be amusing to watch the various pathetic fall-back positions the libs offer now, certainly there will be no apologies for all the endless "Bush lied" diatribes. We could find countless thousands of WMD (chem and/or bio) warheads and the response would be "where are the NUKES?"

Love your commenmt. In that regard, I remember that they were sending everything they found out of the country for independant verification. If they have decided to reveal what they found, there will be no doubt of its authenticity.

Everyone, prepare for some of the worst insanity we have seen yet from the Demagogues!! They will be fighting for their political lives now, after all they have invested for years in "Bush lied" etc. so expect to see every conceivable kind of blather as they squirm and try to wriggle out of the trap they have set for themselves.

If any of them can somehow admit the facts, then the new mantra will be that the info has been withheld for political purposes, or the timing "why now" is suspect, etc.\

No matter what, we will probably see that there are virtually no honest Demagogues left who can say simply "wow we were wrong, we were so terribly wrong, we apologize profusely to Pres. Bush, VP Cheney, all of the exec. branch officials we have abused..... most of all we apologize to the nation and the world for being such as slimy bowlful of turds...... no, we won't see any honest Demagogues who can show the 'humility' and 'contrition' they are always demanding from the WH........

This was discussed on Hume's show on FNC tonight. I was appalled by the panel's ignorance. Anyone who's been following jveritas's threads knows more than the dang panel.

jveritas, are you sending the folks at FNC a link to your translations? They could surely benefit from your hard work.

Hmm, what does John F...ing Kerry have to say about this? Or Fatso Teddy? Hill? Pelosi, Murtha, Reid,PBS and NPR, the BBC, etc.? Nothing.

I'm listening to a tape-delayed Sean Hannity show blasting Ketchup Boy for his fresh "Bush lied, thousands died" charge, and that was live about 3 1/2 hours before Santorum dropped the bomb.

Press Release: Senator Santorum Makes Major Announcement Regarding Newly Declassified Information Concerning Chemical Weapons Discovered in Iraq

“This is critically important information that the world community needs to know” – Senator Santorum


June 21, 2006

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA), Chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, joined Congressman Peter Hoekstra, (R-MI-2), Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, today to make a major announcement regarding the release of newly declassified information that proves the existence of chemical munitions in Iraq since 2003. The information was released by the Director of National Intelligence, John Negroponte, and contained an unclassified summary of analysis conducted by the National Ground Intelligence Center. In March, Senator Santorum began advocating for the release of these documents to the American public.

“The information released today proves that weapons of mass destruction are, in fact, in Iraq,” said Senator Santorum. “It is essential for the American people to understand that these weapons are in Iraq. I will continue to advocate for the complete declassification of this report so we can more fully understand the complete WMD picture inside Iraq.”

The following are the six key points contained in the unclassified overview:

• Since 2003 Coalition forces have recovered approximately 500 weapons munitions which contain degraded mustard or sarin nerve agent.

• Despite many efforts to locate and destroy Iraq’s pre-Gulf War chemical munitions, filled and unfilled pre-Gulf War chemical munitions are assessed to still exist.

• Pre-Gulf War Iraqi chemical weapons could be sold on the black market. Use of these weapons by terrorists or insurgent groups would have implications for Coalition forces in Iraq. The possibility of use outside Iraq cannot be ruled out.

• The most likely munitions remaining are sarin and mustard-filled projectiles.

• The purity of the agent inside the munitions depends on many factors, including the manufacturing process, potential additives, and environmental storage conditions. While agents degrade over time, chemical warfare agents remain hazardous and potentially lethal.

• It has been reported in open press that insurgents and Iraqi groups desire to acquire and use chemical weapons.

The reason any WMD's in Iraq would be kept secret would be to keep Al Queda from digging around looking for it before we could find it.

I had to repost this because it makes so much sense. And thank god they never got a hold of any WMDs!

Seems to me loverly strategery to let Santorum run with this. He is facing a tough electoral challenge, not Bush.
