You're absolute right, John, they did find over 500 WMDs. What you
failed to mention is that they were decaying gas cannisters of serin
and mustard nerve gas from the 1991 Desert Storm conflict from Bush I.

To quote your own Fox News from June 22nd, 2006:

"Reading from a declassified portion of a report by the National Ground
Intelligence Center, a Defense Department intelligence unit, Senator
Rick Santorum (R-PA) 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 weapons are thought to be manufactured before 1991 so they would
not be proof of an ongoing WMD program in the 1990s. But they do show
that Saddam Hussein was lying when he said all weapons had been
destroyed, and it shows that years of on-again, off-again weapons
inspections did not uncover these munitions."

John, I'm curious why you left this little "fact" of information out?
So, is this the real reason why we went into Iraq after 9/11? To
uncover over 500 degraded mustard and sarin nerve gas shells that
Saddam was lying about, at the cost of billions of US dollars, over
2600 american lives and over 10,000 Iraqi lives, all to avenge the 9/11
attacks?

Golly, John, that makes all the sense in the world to me. As always,
you're so right about this sort of thing. So this begs the question,
is the war over yet? We found the WMDs, didn't we?
