Repeat after me one thousand times ... "Iraq had no deployable WMD of any kind as of March 2003 and had no production since 1991". Hmmm .. I guess this isn't working. According to this half of Americans still believe that Iraq had WMD in 2003.
Santorum & Hoekstra recently cynically released an "intelligence" report (one thing for sure we can't credit these 2 hucksters with is intelligence) saying 500 chemical munitions had been collected in Iraq since the 2003 invasion. But as per the article ... "But the Pentagon and outside experts stressed that these abandoned shells, many found in ones and twos, were 15 years old or more, their chemical contents were degraded, and they were unusable as artillery ordnance. Since the 1990s, such "orphan" munitions, from among 160,000 made by Iraq and destroyed, have turned up on old battlefields and elsewhere in Iraq, ex-inspectors say. In other words, this was no surprise."
In other works, the "intelligence" report is a blatant effort at manipulating the compliant populace in spite of incredibly detailed official investigations (Duelfer report, for example) saying otherwise.
Charles Duelfer, the lead U.S. inspector released a huge report detailing the negative findings. The report states that Iraq had no deployable WMD of any kind as of March 2003 and had no production since 1991. Here is a link to the Duelfer report
The Duelfer report was the product of $900-million-plus investigation (that's right) which essentially proved what the UN inspectors had already proven a few years earlier.
Repeat after me ..."Iraq had no deployable WMD of any kind as of March 2003 and had no production since 1991". The reasons for invading Iraq have been pure lies since Day 0.
