So What?

So, this should be all over the place, right?

The United States has found 500 chemical weapons in Iraq since 2003, and more weapons of mass destruction are likely to be uncovered, two Republican lawmakers said Wednesday.

"We have found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, chemical weapons," Senator Rick Santorum, R-PA, said in a quickly called press conference late Wednesday afternoon.

Reading from a declassified portion of a report by the National Ground Intelligence Center, a Defense Department intelligence unit, Santorum said: "Since 2003, coalition forces have recovered approximately 500 weapons munitions which contain degraded mustard or sarin nerve agent. Despite many efforts to locate and destroy Iraq's pre-Gulf War chemical munitions, filled and unfilled pre-Gulf War chemical munitions are assessed to still exist."

The MSM ain't interested, the Democrats ain't interested...for obvious reasons. The mainstream press couldn't be any more obvious in their slavery to the Democratic Party and the professional Bush haters. Their performance while Bush has been in office and while we have been at war has been nothing short of seditious. You'll never see a piece on the herosim of our troops in the New York Times. You won't see anything but passing coverage of huge news such as the above. Now, if they had found an Iraqi willing to talk to them and say that there have never been WMDs in Iraq and he was perfectly happy under Hussein, why it would have been front page news...for weeks.

I have a feeling there is going to be more and more news like this coming out as it is declassified, and the Democrats are going to be embarrassed once again. It'll be interesting to watch Kerry flip flop again. "Well, you know, when I said I wanted the troops out, I just meant a few of them. Of course I wanted most of them to stay and finish the job."

JASmius adds: Actually, if they have to acknowledge the WMD finds at all, it'll be in the context of their being one more reason why the mission has been finished and we have to therefore get out of Iraq ASAP. It's certainly not going to cause a flip-flop back to support for the war; al Donka has got WAY too much invested in its "retreat & defeat" meme, and fears its kook fringe base WAY too much, to backtrack on it now. It would take, as I've observed many times before, a McGovern-in-'72-magnitude national election blowout to even raise the possibility of the far left's grip on that party being broken. And landslides have become few and far between anymore.

Unlike WMDs in Iraq....
