I watched a little of this on C-Span2. There are a few dem talking points.
"These were not the weapons Bush was talking about when he was talking about WMD's."
"General, if you had these weapons and were being attacked, would you use them, or would you prefer to use conventional high-explosive weapons?"
"Weren't these weapons all pre-Gulf War I?"
"Isn't it possible, due to poor accounting, that Saddam didn't even know he still had these old weapons?"
In other words, these weren't, in quantity and quality, THE WMD's to which Bush referred. And, since they are somewhat degraded and difficult to use, aren't regular weapons actually more lethal? And, isn't it possible that, since these weapons are so old, that poor little confused Saddam maybe just lost track of them?
It makes me want to crawl inside the television and strangle these lying, spinning SOB's.
Bottom line--the libs have said, for years, that there are no WMD's, and therefore, Bush lied. However, these chemical weapons, which were found in Iraq, meet all the criteria to be called WMD's. Therefore, the libs lied, and not Bush.
QED, as they say in mathematics, or, as they say in New York, "Case f**king closed."
This will never make the MSM. They cannot have anything that goes against the template of no WMD found and "Bush lied, troops died."
They are doing the only thing they can do, pretend these weapons did not exist. If that doesn't work then they will call these weapons being discovered "this late in the game" as unfair White House Republican trick.
I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for adequate coverage on the wmd issues.
