The chemical weapons discovered were expired leftovers from the 1991 Persian-Gulf War.

Funny how Condi Rice and Collin Powell stated that Iraq didn't have an active nuclear weapon program before the 9/11 attacks. After the 9/11 attacks, they vigorously announce that Saddam had access to an active WMD program and had a role in planning the attacks. It turns out that Iraq didn't have any involvement in 9/11 and wasn't in alliance with Bin Laden.

The US didn't find any newly-built, ready-to-use WMD that the Bush government claimed Iraq was about to unleash on America.

All it found were old weapons dating back to the First Gulf War.

The only thing the Pentagon hid was how many US troops were injured because of those old, obsolete weapons.

That's the actual fact-based reality of the situation.

Realize it, and correct yourself accordingly.

Bush was not right. Bush's claim was that Saddam was amassing new chemical weapons. The ones he already had were not a threat to the world or to the U.S.

When a U.N. law that is already adopted goes into effect in 2017, what Bush did will be a global crime.

It's already a shame.

We have to consider a few things here:

- The New York Times broke this story. Barack Obama delivers regular "off the record" updates to the NYT's editorial board.. of the story as HE wants it to appear.

- On February 8th, 2008, Carey Sublette, a former analyst with what's now the Defense Threat Reduction Agency posted to USENET: "Iraq definitely manufactured ton quantities of VX - they imported enough precursors for 200 tons, but fessed up only to two or so."

NOTE: "VX" is a very, very toxic nerve agent feared for its ability to kill in tiny doses and its persistence in the environment. Britain and the US both used it - in fact, Britain traded us the formula for VX in exchange for the Teller-Ulam thermonuclear weapon design.

190 tons of precursors for VX would make about 190 tons of FRESH VX nerve gas. This isn't necessarily the old stuff they found in rusting shells and canisters, but even the VX we had stockpiled at the VX factory in Newport, Indiana and all over the country and in a few overseas weapon dumps would have been quite potent regardless of the rust on the outside of the shells and storage tanks.

The reference in the article about the age of the chemical weapons is almost pure spin by the New York Times, who fired their only editor courageous enough to criticize the Obama administration, Jill Abramson, last year.

- No one's interviewed Mr. Bush, Mr. Cheney, Mr. Rumsfeld, or anyone else involved with WMD-related intel or decision-making for THEIR side of the story.

- If the current Secretary of Defense WANTED the whole truth to come out, it would have come out long before this. That goes for Leon Panetta when HE was SecDef, and for his predecessor George Tenet (who was kept over from the Bush administration).

We're being asked to believe that after 6 years in office, the Obama administration is "shocked, shocked!" to find out that WMD existed in Iraq.

That implies the Obama administration's either unprecedentedly stupid or unprecedentedly crooked.

Of course, "both" is always a possibility.

If it was wrong for Bush's people to keep the existence of Iraqi WMD a secret and the injury of our people by WMD a secret and deny them appropriate care, it was just as wrong for the Department of Defense to continue doing that under the Obama administration.

Obama's lied to us so many times, his "Teflon®" has worn off. He can't spin this into a negative story for the Bush administration without admitting for 6 years, he was just as guilty of doing the same things - PLUS perpetuating his own party's lie of "no WMDs in Iraq."

The report is a hoax. Bush43 lied about WMDs.

So WHAT's Your "Plan"- for getting OUT of Iraq- Now ??! :o
