Lets hear it liberals...

Stage 1:
"There are no WMDs...it was all a big lie, the war was about oil."

Stage 2:
"Oh suure there are SOME WMD's..but those are OLD...and besides there are so few of them."

I find this interesting, especially from US officials:
"However, US officials played down the find, saying the shells were probably left over from Saddam Hussein's 1980-88 war with Iran"

"The coalition has yet to uncover proof that Iraq was still developing weapons at the time of the war last spring."

"US military spokesman Brigadier-General Mark Kimmitt said of the shells: "Most were wrapped in plastic bags, and some were leaking."

Hehe somehow I don't think those were meant to be used anymore.
btw we have chemical weapons too thought ours are buried in the sea, not in the sand.

Good try thought

Heh...the liberal brain never ceases to amaze me.

"Yeah, there were WMD's, but they were not supposed to be used anymore...I think...so therefore they are not WMD's".

The 36 120mm shells appear to have been buried for at least 10 years, the Danes said.

So does that change the fact that they are chemical warheads, WMD's...?

So in your mind this finding justifys the invasion of Iraq?

some would not be satisfied even if they uncovered one of those .. they just complain that it wasn't able to be fired in a moments notice thus did not constitute the "immediate threat" Bush spoke of

History will show the invasion of Iraq to be the best strategic move against terrorism & middle east unrest that could have been done at this time.

I find the invasion justified for many different reasons. His WMD's was just one of them.

But this answers the "did Saddam have WMD's", "did Saddam hide WMD's from the UN inspectors" -questions... doesnt it?

You cant win a war against terrorism. Its as simple as that... As long as there are people with mental problems, payback desire and a death wish theres always gonna be terrorism.

Of course, we will have to wait a day or two to get the lab-reports tough. But if they contain WMD of course no one can say he didnt have WMD.

Alltought how much Mass destruction could 36 shells do?

Set one off at the superbowl and see what the combination of WMD and terrorism can do to a lifestyle near you...

Like it or not, it does prove Iraq was lying, now doesn't it? Total justification for the war - certainly not - but then that never was the entire reason given.

The whole anti-Bush movement is predicated on the concept there weren't WMDs in Iraq, and that it was all a lie. Now some are found... old, buried for some time, but there nonetheless. How faulty is the intelligence now? How much more is out there?

No, no, no... that just can't be possible. Has to be a CIA plant. Couldn't possibly be real.

Keep moving that goal line, folks.

So Kieran,

The war was about finding 10 yr old buried leaking WMDs? good intel.
