Is the GOP That Desperate...
or is Rick Santorum that stupid? *
Senator "Soon to be out of a job" Santorum apparently thinks he has found bigfoot...er WMD in Iraq (from ThinkProgress):
Congressman Hoekstra and I are here today to say that we have found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, chemical weapons. … Since 2003, coalition forces have recovered approximately 500 weapons munitions which contain degraded mustard or sarin nerve agent. Despite many efforts to locate and destroy Iraq’s pre-Gulf War chemical munitions, filled and unfilled pre-Gulf War chemical munitions are assessed to still exist.
Now, is Santorum that dumb, or is he like Bush and doesn't pay much attention to the news. Santorum's "discovery" was debunked by the Iraq Survey Group's final report:
While a small number of old, abandoned chemical munitions have been discovered, ISG judges that Iraq unilaterally destroyed its undeclared chemical weapons stockpile in 1991. There are no credible indications that Baghdad resumed production of chemical munitions thereafter, a policy ISG attributes to Baghdad’s desire to see sanctions lifted, or rendered ineffectual, or its fear of force against it should WMD be discovered.
and by President Bush:
The chief weapons inspector, Charles Duelfer, has now issued a comprehensive report that confirms the earlier conclusion of David Kay that Iraq did not have the weapons that our intelligence believed were there.
What baffles me, is why even bring it up? Next thing you know, Santorum will report that a South Korean scientist has cloned a human being.

* trick question, I know. the answer could be yes to both.
