Have We Heard Anything New About the Amazing WMD Find?
Everywhere I go, like little parrots, right-wingers are gloating about how Bush is "vindicated" because the WMDs that the "liberals were constantly squealing about" have been found, proving that it was right to go in to rid Iraq of the weapons of mass destruction.

Now, from what I understand, even if that WAS sarin that they found, it was no more a weapon of "MASS" destruction than a machine gun or a brick of C4 because there just wasn't much of it. This, they do not comprehend.

I also remember all the other times we "found" WMDs and they turned out to be rat poison or Comet toilet cleaner or whatever. Do we know conclusively yet if that was sarin they found?

3. wasnt much of it
had to be fired a way to be effective. and too old to be effective.

it was a dud. and they knew it when treating the two soldiers and they allowed the story. and now have dropped it so it stays in righties mind.

it was pre first iraq war. they didnt mark the weapons that have stuff. they are scattered thru out and all knew this before hand. the person that used it for roadside bomb didnt even know it had it in it, army says.

4. Even if it was Sarin, it is a little too convenient
Now I wouldn't accuse the administration of doing anything underhanded, or engaging in any kind of dirty tricks or deception, like possibly planting Sarin or other stuff. It is well known that they are faithfully honest and not manipulative at all.

NOT!
