Like 30,000 munitions and tons of WMDs

Who made that up?

I'll give you a hint. It wasn't a conservative.....

U.S. intelligence indicates that Saddam Hussein had upwards of 30,000 munitions capable of delivering chemical agents. Inspectors recently turned up 16 of them -- despite Iraq's recent declaration denying their existence. Saddam Hussein has not accounted for the remaining 29,984 of these prohibited munitions. He's given no evidence that he has destroyed them.

Want to take a swing where I found that? Of course we won't go into the tons and liters of WMDs that was also covered at the same time this statement was made. Shouldn't have to as it was all false data in the first place. But boy it sure made good copy for whipping up the mindless didn't it?
