lets see what these were; probably obsolete munitions from the Iran/Iraq war; stuff that might not even work.

Interestingly, the reason we did not "know" about these munitions was that the Bush administration had not revealed the information they had for two years.....More here than meets the eye... newshounds.us

you really nead to learn to read the whole story "Asked why the Bush administration, if it had known about the information since April or earlier, didn't advertise it, Hoekstra conjectured that the president has been forward-looking and concentrating on the development of a secure government in Iraq. Offering the official administration response to FOX News, a senior Defense Department official pointed out that the chemical weapons were not in useable conditions. "This does not reflect a capacity that was built up after 1991," the official said, adding the munitions "are not the WMDs this country and the rest of the world believed Iraq had, and not the WMDs for which this country went to war."<b/>

Re: "...which contain degraded mustard or sarin nerve agent." Oh, sure --- most likely produced pre-Desert Storm, or even vintage Iran/Iraq Gulf War from the 'eighties. Yep, this has been widely known since the Reagan/Bush era....

GZ, The response your post got is a clear indication that the demorats have no intention of admitting that they were wrong. Those responses are the weakest attempts to differ ever seen on this planet.

Its laughable that anyone would take technology from 1917 (mustard gas) as a serious weapons system - much less a legitimate WMD. The US has 10,000 nuclear devices. JDAMs (considered "conventional" weaponry) obliterate every living thing within its target range - usually a square mile or two. That’s a little more effective than mustard gas - where a mask (standard issue) renders it a useless weapon. The US military has used these weapons extensively. Its hypocritical and misleading to get excited about some old gas shells. Its ridiculous to propose that was justification for the invasion of Iraq.
