The 500 munitions discovered throughout Iraq since 2003 and discussed in a National Ground Intelligence Center report meet the criteria of weapons of mass destruction, the center's commander said here today.
"These are chemical weapons as defined under the Chemical Weapons Convention, and yes ... they do constitute weapons of mass destruction," Army Col. John Chu told the House Armed Services Committee.

Does anyone else still want to step forward and say these aren't WMD's?
Bump.
David Kay said it at the same hearing today.
I've been watching the CSPAN replay of the Weldon hearings today,....and at the closing it got contentious with Ike Skelton, Taylor of Miss, and Republican Walter Jones of North Carolina still basically arguing that we haven't found what the NCIE said we were going to find....Gaffney was brilliant in his defense of the President....it is a must see if CSPAN shows it again....
Weldon and Duncan Hunter were excellent also.....
Better to ask if anybody on the Left is willing to step forward and adopt a WMD and be present without a hazmat suit when the adopted round is destroyed.

"But they're the OLD WMDs!!! Bush is trying to foist off old WMDs on us!! Only the NEW WMDs count!!"

Well, the standard response is just gonna be that these "aren't the WMDs we fought the war over", or some nonsense like that. This is what some unnamed "defense department official" was blabbing to reporters when this news first hit.
That rebuttal always cracks me up, too. Supposedly somewhere there's an Official List Of WMDs For Which We Invaded Iraq. It describes precisely and in great detail the type, quantity, age, serial #'s, etc. of the "WMDs we're fighting the war over". If we find stuff that's on that magic secret list, then boom, I guess the war would be justified. But what we've found, all somehow happens not to be on the list.
At least according to the "unnamed defense department official". Who, of course, made up the whole concept of "WMDs we fought the war over" himself, for some reason.
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.
Hmm, dead silence from the MSM.
They don't count unless they were fired from Iraq, and detonated in the DNC offices, prior to initiation of the invasion.

I figured you guys would like this. I actually picked it up from counterterrorismblog.org. Great site.
