You mean THOSE WMDs?????
Quietly, with no fanfare or notice in the US Media, apparent confirmation of Saddam's ties to al Qaeda and his WMD's are coming to light. Whether it is translations of Saddam's documents or the declassification of certain DOJ/Homeland security documents, more and more proof of the President's claims are coming to light, shooting down the meme that President Bush "lied" us into this war.
That is not stopping the President's detractors. Senator Santorum barely got WMD announcement out when the left wing spin machine got to work, saying (among other things) that these were "pre-1991 shells" and that they were "too old" to be a danger. Too old???? Funny thing that....the BBC Program "Inside Out" had a story in January where they talked about chemical weapons from World War 1 that were found and were still a danger 90 years later!
" They may be 90-years-old and look harmless but the chemical agents can be as deadly as the day they were first made. Destroying them has to take place inside a high security lab. "
If you are going to be intellectually honest in the debate, you have to say that the jury is still out when it comes to the Saddam's WMD's. Yes, we had faulty intelligence going in and yes they are not there in the numbers that we had anticipated, but the truth of the matter appears to say that Saddam did indeed have chemical and biological WMD's that he had used and yes Saddam was exhaggerating when it came to telling other how much of the stuff he had. However, there were 17 UN injunctions calling for Saddam to account for the weapons and for their destruction, injunctions that he refused to comply with and that dear reader is why we went into Iraq.
