500 Sarin, Mustard Gas Shells Confirmed in Iraq
Document Details WMD Recovered In Iraq, Santorum Says.
(CNSNews.com) - Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) and Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-Mich.) announced Wednesday the finding of over 500 munitions or weapons of mass destruction, specifically “sarin- and mustard-filled projectiles,” in Iraq.
Reading from unclassified portions of a document developed by the U.S. intelligence community, 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.”
According to Santorum, “That means in addition to the 500, there are filled and unfilled munitions still believed to exist within the country.”
Reading from the document, Santorum added, “Pre-Gulf War Iraqi chemical weapons could be sold on the Black Market. Use of these weapons by terrorist or insurgent groups would have implications for coalition forces in Iraq. The possibility of use outside of Iraq cannot be ruled out. The most likely munitions remaining are sarin- and mustard-filled projectiles. And I underscore filled.”
But-but, there were no WMD!!!
Shut up.

Obviously planted by operatives of the Bush cabal. Why isn't this getting press attention?
Six: I think that you shouldn't call the WMD lefty charge a "talking point", because that suggests that the lefties are making this claim from DNC email memos. I think that people like Tom and Nadir arrive at these claims genuinely.
Don't forget the safe haven many terrorists found in Hussein's totalitarian nation, including al-Zakari.
