this story's good food for apologist bushbots, but is hardly persuasive as far as i'm concerned.. this is no smoking gun, not even close. it's pathetic really..
i'm reminded of all the bullshit speeches bush and cheney would give, warning us about mushroom clouds linked to iraq's wmd programs (which weren't active for at least a decade)... big lofty, fear-mongering rhetoric - mixed in with bogus intelligence like the crap powell spewed at the u.n...
and what do these pleebs offer to justify this war? some dusty, nearly useless weapons.. from santorum's own chapped lips:
Quote:

"The purity of the agents inside the munitions depends on many factors, including the manufacturing process, potential additives and environmental storage conditions. While agents degrade over time, chemical warfare agents remain hazardous and potentially lethal," Santorum read from the document.

hazardous and potentially lethal.. that is a far cry from the end of the world bullshit they all preached in the months leading up to the war. (and on a side note: here in the boston area, we refer to santorum as a mixture of cum and shit oozing out of a gay man's ass post-intercourse. it's out little term of endearment.)
from the part preceeding zeeb's quote/post:
Quote:

Offering the official administration response to FOX News, a senior Defense Department official pointed out that the chemical weapons were not in useable conditions.

not in useable conditions..
well, after all is said and done, i guess the threats posed by iraq's unuseable weapons were large enough to justify this massive/endless nation-building quagmire... riiiight..
