All over the MSM.

It’s almost as if the finding of 500 chemical munitions in Iraq never happened.

One can only wonder why that might be.

If one has the intellectual acuity of a lobotomized horsefly, that is.

    Gee! Imagine that! Nothing on the front page of the online version of the WaPo

    Ditto for the New York Slime though they do have a link for yet another bash the Americans movie

    Front page of the online version of the L.A. Times isn’t doing any better of course…

    BUT DON’T QUESTION THEIR PATRIOTISM!

    One more thing to note thanks to Patrick al-Kafir is the following from the Pew Pukes: (http://pewresearch.org/reports/?ReportID=28)

    The latest survey by the Pew Global Attitudes Project, conducted among roughly 14,000 people in 13 nations, finds that publics of predominantly Muslim nations have an aggrieved view of the West - they are much more likely than Americans or Western Europeans to blame Western policies for their own lack of prosperity. Generally, Muslim publics feel much more embittered toward people in the West than vice versa

    Any bets this will get more play in US and Euro-Weasel news media than the find of the WMDs?

  3. Darth Bacon Comment by Darth Bacon UNITED STATES

    If “X” equals the number of WMDs found since 2003, then for liberals, the amount needed to constitute a “stockpile” will always be “X+1″.

    Juandos has provided a good observation here: It is always more fun to squat on your dungheap and blame the bastards next door for your squalor than it is to actually clean up the mess.

    I am new here, thanks for the site. I get alot of my info from Brookings Institute utilizing the Iraq Index.

    http://www.brookings.edu/fp/saban/iraq/index.pdf

    The blatant MSM bias has never been more apparent than on the WMD issue. Although watching moonies dance and stutter has never been more entertaining.

    lmao

  6. Unregistered Comment by LC + IB Gutshot UNITED STATES

    Why would they want to clean up their mess? Heck, they could easily bitch about their buddies in Saudi Arabia et. al. who are glomming BILLIONS of dollars from nations such as ours. Nope, they blame us and Israel. Why? Because they are a culture of killing those with whom they disagree. They live to murder.

    When is this country going to finally sink the Lamestream Midiots? Does anybody even watch them? Last night, Larry King had on “The Democratic Women of the Senate.” Let’s wait around and see how long it’ll take Larry to have on the Republican women. Well, I’m not sure I want to experience the odors of Larry’s rotting body.

    Ahhh yes, the Iraq Index from the Brookings folks is a good source of material…

    Its a cool site here Dennis…

  8. THANOS Comment by THANOS UNITED STATES

    Hey Dennis, youre girls are gettin uppity over at BKP, specially mod, he claims that the WMD found in Iraq is nothing but a fraud, that the report doesnt exist because MSNBC says so. These liberals will sink so low in their depravity that its hysterically funny to see what bullshit they will make up next.

  9. Nanashi Comment by Nanashi UNITED STATES

    My paper reported it!

    Of course, liberals of the short-bus persuasion would probably start frothing at the mouth about the wingnut-controlled media…never you mind that the Examiner staff are mostly Libertarians across the spectrum. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain…

  10. juandos Comment by juandos UNITED STATES

    Hey Nanashi (#9) thanks for post the link to this article from the Examiner…

    Have you and anyone else for that matter noted just how often the following has been echoed: “It is less toxic than most things that Americans have under their kitchen sink at this point,” Kay said.?

    Let’s just for sake of argument take David Kay (the man that lead the teams that couldn’t find these weapons) at his word regarding just how toxic these WMDs are today…

    Well if the American Association of Poison Control Centers knows what its talking about then consider the following: The cumulative AAPCC database now contains 38.7 million human poison exposure cases. This report includes 2 438 644 human exposure cases reported by 62 participating poison centers during 2004, an increase of 1.8% compared to 2003.

    Well call me mad but something about 2+ million poisonings strikes me at least as a good start down the road of mass destruction…

  11. RobH Comment by RobH MEXICO

    This issue has always amazed me from the Left - here we go with solid proof that Saddam HAD WMD’s (like duh, he only USED WMD’s during his little tiff with Iran and against his own people……), yet the MSM prefers to emphasize that these WMD’s WEREN’T usable.

    BUT THE PROOF THAT SADDAM HAD THEM doesn’t really matter I guess…………….

    There’s a Kind of Hush All over the MSM.
    One can only wonder why that might be.

    If one has the intellectual acuity of a lobotomized horsefly, that is.

    Well, it’s obvious, isn’t it? Everybody figured, Rick Santorum is attention whoring (no heavy blame attached - he, as a politician, should be doing this), so he got his share of press. Why would MSM give him any more, unless there’s some substance behind these news?

    BUT THE PROOF THAT SADDAM HAD THEM doesn’t really matter I guess……

    You guess right. It doesn’t.

  13. Unregistered Comment by flesh99 UNITED STATES

    Of course once you point this out the liberals just say they are old and had nothing to do with why we went to war and Bush still lied. Nevermind that Saddam HAD them and the inspectors failed to find them they weren’t what we went to wat about. Denial, denial, denial. It’s the liberal mantra.

    Yeah, that decades old Mustard gas was bringing us to the brink of armageddon, I almost couldn’t sleep at night after hearing about it. Good thing we got there first, rather than worry about Iran and their little nuc-u-ler programme, eh?

  15. Unregistered Comment by eric90230 UNITED STATES

    Since early 2003 when we started the liberation of Iraq, there have been several reports of our finding WMD’s. This is probably the largest amount reported.

    people with a brain have never cared about the morons who were yelling “there were no WMD’s!” Since Saddam had used WMD’s, and since Saddam had promised to account for his WMD’s, and since Saddam didn’t account for his WMD’s, then where did his WMD’s go? No answer from the morons.

    Basically, those people were saying, “We should have ASSUMED there were no WMD’s!” Why would anybody listen to that?

    RE: #14, Valdemar.

    Well, if the DOD has, “disavowed,” Santorum, then, pray tell, why is Santorum trying so hard to get the rest of the documents released?

  17. Emperor Darth Misha I Comment by Emperor Darth Misha I UNITED STATES

    The DoD has “disavowed” Santorum?

    Damn. Just the other day I saw Rumsfeld himself on the tube talking about it and he didn’t sound like he was disavowing anybody. He is still the Sec-of-D, isn’t he?

  18. Unregistered Comment by Valdemar UNITED KINGDOM

    So your single smoking gun is a stockpile of useless, aged WWI era gas? Oh no! Like I said, even if the DoD didn’t laugh at Santorum, who’s quite the prize prick anyway, you’re trying to tell me we did the right thing going after 500 shells of mustard gas… and not the very real nuke issue in Iran that Bush is sweating over now?

    Saddam was never going to do shit with that, but our crazy Iranian friends, they’re a whole different matter. And they have a lot of oil too.

  19. JannyMae Comment by JannyMae UNITED STATES

    FYI, this is from the FoxNews report:

    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.”

    The official said the findings did raise questions about the years of weapons inspections that had not resulted in locating the fairly sizeable stash of chemical weapons. And he noted that it may say something about Hussein’s intent and desire. The report does suggest that some of the weapons were likely put on the black market and may have been used outside Iraq.

    He also said that the Defense Department statement shortly after the March 2003 invasion saying that “we had all known weapons facilities secured,” has proven itself to be untrue.

    “It turned out the whole country was an ammo dump,” he said, adding that on more than one occasion, a conventional weapons site has been uncovered and chemical weapons have been discovered mixed within them.

    Interestingly, our little anti-war friend on FI, only posted the first two paragraphs of the DoD Official’s statements.

    It doesn’t exactly sound like this person is, “disavowing,” Santorum, now does it?

    Here is the original story

    Yes, very deadly WWII era nerve gas. Nope, no smoking gun there.

    Oh no! Like I said, even if the DoD didn’t laugh at Santorum, who’s quite the prize prick anyway, you’re trying to tell me we did the right thing going after 500 shells of mustard gas… and not the very real nuke issue in Iran that Bush is sweating over now?

    I hate to burst your little libbypuke bubble, but the summary of the report, which is what was released, indicates that there is more there. That doesn’t concern you, at all?

    Saddam was never going to do shit with that, but our crazy Iranian friends, they’re a whole different matter. And they have a lot of oil too.

    Really? Saddam wasn’t seeking nukes? You better tell Duelfer. He said otherwise.

    Then, of course, you can’t resist going back to the old, tired, “war for oil,” mantra…and you have the nerve to call Santorum a prize prick?

  21. Unregistered Comment by cas UNITED STATES

    Hi Emperor,
    The reason why no one is saying much is because the materials are degraded leftovers from 80’s and early 90s. Already useless prior to the current war (which we knew at the time–prior to the Iraq invasion). The weapon inspector in charge at the time of the post-invasion search(Kay) tells us that the implications that Senator Santorum draws now from the claims are totally exaggerated. The question to raise is why raise these old claims?

  22. Unregistered Comment by Uchuck the Tuchuck UNITED STATES

    Mustard gas was damned nasty stuff when it was first produced in 1917. It will still be nasty stuff if it is produced in 2017. Yes, this particular cache was detriorated, but don’t discount the agent as primitive just because it was developed during the First World War.

  23. Emperor Darth Misha I Comment by Emperor Darth Misha I UNITED STATES

    Every time this “mustard gas isn’t really dangerous if it’s old” nonsense comes up (accompanied by the sound of moonbats grunting as they’re dragging the goalposts yet again), I’m reminded of my childhood when our fishermen, from time to time, would get a bunch of mustard gas shells dating as far back as WWI in their nets.

    I wish I could go back and tell them that they didn’t NEED those hazmat teams and that all of their illnesses were imagined, but I doubt that they’d listen even if I could.

    Overlooking the fact that you are an ignorant fuck, if just one of those weapons had made it into the bus, train, taxi, building or playground, of one of YOUR family members you wouldn’t hesitate to blame that on President Bush.

    Coward.

    Hypocrite.

    Moron.

    If the Gods are just and we get hit again, it will be you, and you alone, that dies. If we aren’t that lucky then it will be your children or maybe mine. Then perhaps you’ll wake up and understand the depth of your treason and aid and comfort to the enemy. Either way, endangering my family makes you MY enemy. That’s not really a title you want.

    Saddam was never going to do shit with that, but our crazy Iranian friends, they’re a whole different matter. And they have a lot of oil too.

    Well at least you admit your sedition. Your iranian friends will hear from us soon enough.

    Being pagan and all, I can assure you that your next incarnation will be as the anal sphincter muscle on a gay man fond of having barbed wire wrapped parking meters shoved up his ass.

  25. Unregistered Comment by MVK MERR UNITED STATES

    Anyone realize how Anti-War a good amount of those people are, nothing will satisfy them, they’ll try to come off as “political pacifists” by talking about WMDs and an illegal war, but they don’t care about the WMDs, to them any war especially with Bush is illegal, and even if we did find WMDs the goalposts will still be moved somewhere else. In a way, I suggest to not take the nihilists on the Left seriously.

  26. RobH Comment by RobH MEXICO

    How does one get a liberal/lefty to understand the bigger picture?

    Thought you Rottweilerians would be interested to know that Al-Aqsa has successfully manufactured chem/bio weapons now, while the Left has spent its energy demonizing Dub, and gee, wonder what they’re going to do with their WMDs…………I’m sure use them for “peaceful” purposes against Israel and gee, wonder who’s next………..

    They wont’ understand, RobH…power is their mantra, even if they destroy this country to attempt the attainment of such authority. Hence, the denials of reality, the suicidal, self-destructive mantra they play so well. In truth I care not for their safety, just those innocent. And it remains my hope that after the next attack, which they will anticipate with glee….it also remains my hope We The People hunt them down and exterminate them as the vermin they remain. Then go get some terrorists. I could easily hate them, but I allow no man that control over my souls. Now as for despising…as for dirisive contempt…that’s a whole other story…..Spritual rejects, one and all. And in truth I expect this country to ultimately prevail….and then to remember who……..now why am I smilin’?

    LC HJ Caveman - I like how you think!

    Not sure how I ended up here but am glad to see some Patriots left in the US - guys like me served in the military and never thought twice about it because we KNEW where we stood - but now I’m in a world I do not understand - how so many lefties/liberals don’t see how they provide aid and comfort to the enemy - just like they did during Vietnam, heck just like they did during the Cold War!

    Oh, and everyone here has an open invitation to mi casa here in Ciudad Juarez anytime, for any reason, or no reason at all, other than to make you feel at home, and you’ll meet two of the finest ROTTWEILERS ever to grace the planet Earth - I’m serious, man!

    OK gotta show proof:

  30. LC HJ Caveman82952 Comment by LC HJ Caveman82952 UNITED STATES

    You nailed it, RobH. We never thought twice about it……it was simply something you did. Not necessary expected, but strongly implied. Either that or college. I joined the Navy. Almost all of the men in my family were vets….and love of country was tied to love of God and family. Now I know I am truly an ossified relic of a bygone era….. But that is the way some of us remain, and I have no intention of changing. My daughter kept telling me I should go back to college. I’d get kicked out in a week…or less. But I’d write and publish some real nice letters on my way out…….
    There are many, RobH,…silent supporters of this nation….just look at the Rott, my online home, thanks to Misha and Co. I was welcomed here, by BC actually. I have laughed my ass off at some of the stuff I have read. Met some fine, super smart people too, folks I could turn to for advice or to listen to a broken heart. We share our losses and our joys, therin lies our strength. And simply knowing you are all out there an inspiration to me as I do life, one day at a time. As much as the trolls try, their arguments always come up bereft of credible merit, somehow barren…..and by the way, those are two big, beautiful doggies you got, especially the one on the right. What a monster!
