Sarin and mustard gas,
And bio-weapons,
Elite Republican guards
A-goose-steppin'
Anthrax-laced letters
From Chemical Ali,
These are a few of Iraq's WMD's
When the polls sink,
And the code's pink,
and I'm getting mad,
I simply remember those WMD's,
And then I don't feel so bad

I missed that. I don't know why we try to defend this guy and his policies when he won't even defend himself. This isn't rocket science folks. Remember that what we know is just from the unclassified parts of a larger classified report.
Did it ever occur to anyone that maybe, just maybe, the reason Bush isn't singing this from the rooftops is that he is more concerned about national security than his popularity ratings? Maybe he is downplaying this because of what is still in the classified portions and he maybe doesn't want to tip too much to the terrorists lest they get ahold of what is still missing? Just a thought.
Jag!

Sorry, I didn't mean to pile on. I didn't see your corrected post until after I posted.

And, if you'd looked, you'd have seen the date of the report.

Not hundreds of millions; we've spent way over a billion at each location just to build the facilities. That's public record, by the way, and it's a great point that these things are not just benign because they're 16 years old. They're very toxic and very lethal. If the MSM and their Democratic allies don't agree, why don't they ask for the lab reports and show how innocuous these items were?

To: Sergio
Let me add an insight to your observations on lethality. Our stuff is as lethal as when it was made. I don't accept at all that the Iraqi Sarin and Mustard is degraded in its lethality, only in the fact that the projectile or rocket might not function as intended and designed. For example, the mustard round might wobble off course if shot from a howitzer. The rockets might not land near their intended target if launched from a rocket launcher. Hence, it's degraded. If you're in the army, then that type of weapon is degraded. If you're in a city and someone pops a sarin round open, it probably won't matter if it would have flown on a proper trajectory.

I think the official stance is, "We are certain that Saddam did not possess weapons of mass destruction -and we're the ones who sold them to him!"
To: elhombrelibre; JaguarXKE
Excellent point, hadn't thought of it that way . . . any chemical rounds used would probably be smuggled in to the terrorist's intended target and detonated in place.
I would also like to echo Jag's comment. With the exception of a few mistakes now and then, a person's intellect tends to be a constant.
I find it a bit hard to believe that our President can be so right about other issues that are brought up about this war, and then say that there are no WMDs. It just doesn't make sense unless as Jag said, he is protecting sources.
Best Regards
Sergio

because of an administration that is not publicizing the facts This is the biggest mystery about the Bush Administration, IMO
Dubya's new tone again. He doesn't want to embarass the french or the russians who made the wmd artillary shells.

First that is an outright LIE. If you can read you will find that the Germans and the USSR and maybe the French were the ones. We have not sold our gas formulas to anyone period. That saying, that we sold it to him, was by an anti-American left-wing fascist pro terrorist democrat.

About the wmds libs are going to plan B: yes, we always knew there were old wmds, but they were from before the first Gulf War, and they are harmless.
Yes that's correct folks, apparently all the sarin and mustard gas shells and canisters we've found have use-by dates on them. And the lib naysayers, like the Mount Everest of Ignorance himself Keith Olbermann, would be quite willing to prove that these "old" wmds are harmless by being exposed to the contents of a few released ones. Sure.
And furthermore the American public has been told that there were NO, NONE, ZILCH, NADA wmds whatsoever...not old ones.

I'm totally baffled by the president on this. I have been for quite some time. I have to assume it is to protect our troops. The downside to him is having to admit that we invaded Iraq to get his WMD, and now we don't have it all yet. That too would be a club for the Democrats.

That too would be a club for the Democrats. Quite true, but then again, the Dems would use the President's choice in underwear as a club if they could. Unfortunately, in this case, the club is very effective.

That saying, that we sold it to him, was by an anti-American left-wing fascist pro terrorist democrat. Well, my point was that they make no sense. First they say he DIDN'T HAVE them, and then they see WE SOLD HIM SOME. If we sold him some, then he had them, right? They're very illogical.

Thanks so much for the ping to this. It just so happened that I caught a replay of this hearing on C-Span 2 yesterday.
Curt Weldon said to David Kay that it was stupid and unconscionable that Kay has tried to downplay the finding of 500 WMD in Iraq as being less dangerous than what was under the average kitchen sink.
Frank Gaffney was his usual brilliant self.

Ditto that. I don't try to defend W anymore. One can only go so far until you get to the point that you begin to bend your own principles. I've reached the point that I will no longer do that for W or the GOP.
In my book, this cartoon sums up the GOP:
