WMDs found in Iraq *Gasp*
Stardate 5962.75
NOT!
Just yesterday, I was reading something about this on Wizbang, watching all of the right wing commentors crucifying the left with really loud "SEE??? Told ya so..." over wild claims of 600 year old shells being found in Iraq (incidentally, they have been pulling up the odd degraded weapon from time to time over the entire course of the occupation, so no surprises here), but as usual, it turns out to be a load of dingos kidneys.
The claim was made by Senator Rick Santorum and Peter Hoekstra the evening before a debate and vote on the withdrawal from Iraq. So they found more pre-1991 casings and try to make a case about the flaunted WMD program that Hussein was still operating... This is nothing more than a political move by Santorum, who is down 18 points in his Senate re-election bid.
Nice try.
