  • WMD's finally found??? Nope...

    From Crooks and Liars, Santorum debunked by Colmes over WMD's.


    Even Fox News isn't allowing this blatant pandering to justify the original reason for the Iraq war (out of around 4-5 total reasons).



    Colmes: It's Alan Colmes. Senator, the Iraq Survey Group, uhh, let me go to the Duelfer Report-says Iraq did not have the weapons our intelligence believed were there. And Jim Angle who reported this for Fox News-quotes a defense official who says these were pre-1991 weapons that could not have been fired as designed because they already been degraded.


    And the official went on to say that they are-these are not the WMD's this country and the rest of the world believed Iraq had-and not the WMD's for which this country went to war. So the chest beating that the  Republicans are doing tonight thinking this is a justification is not confirmed by the defense department.


    I never thought a "Fox liberal" like Colmes (meaning a moderate) would be able to make a valid point on Fox News.  So, how do weapons that were 12 years old and degraded to the point that they couldn't be used when we went to war justify anything?
