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.

But they were old! They must've just falen off of a truck or something and been forgotten. Saddam really meant to disarm.

Did I forget anything?

Oh yeah, they weren't harmful anymore because they're old.

ABC radio actually mentioned it just now but said "they were old"....as predicted.
Is there some memo in newsrooms that says we cant offend or disrupt the standard Left/MSM line on this story? They were so close to actually getting the story right.

I would love for them to actually go into the chemistry of binary nerve gas rounds...I'm not holding my breath or anything.

EXCERPT *****************************************

Two months prior to the U.S. invasion of Iraq, Gaffney predicted, “I believe that when you find, as you will I hope shortly, that the Iraqi people welcome the end of this horrible regime, even if it comes at some further expense to themselves, knowing as they do that the alternative is more of the horror that they've lived under for the past two or three decades. Ah you'll see I think an outpouring of appreciation for their liberation that will make what we saw in Afghanistan recently pale by comparison. You'll see, moreover, evidence in the files and the bunkers that become available to our military, evidence not only of Saddam's weapons of mass destruction programs and his future ambitions for their use perhaps and for aggression against his neighbors, but also, I would be willing to bet, evidence of his past complicity with acts of terror against the West, perhaps more generally but certainly against the United States which in turn I think will further vindicate the course of action that this president is courageously embarked upon.”

There ARE NO WMDs! I am just rounding to the nearest increment of 10.000.
