Alas, even in defeat conservatives find ways to lie to themselves. Terrorists never needed a dictator to get chemical weapons, and couldn't have gotten them from Saddam anyway. The occupation would have failed even if it had twice the troops. And people engaged in a civil war may be engaged in acts of terrorism, but their terrorizing of each other has nothing to do with the War on Terror we're supposed to be fighting.

A rather smart move on the terrorists' part. Chlorine is absolutely essential to water purification, and attempts to regulate it so that terrorists can't get their hands on it would have the effect of reducing the already miserable supply of potable water.

But don't you see?? This proves that Saddam did in fact have WMD! Invasion is justified! Bush is the greatest! Cheney/Jeb '08! Oil rules! I hate the gay!

I thought they came from Saudi Arabia? Or was it Iran?

So, can we leave now?

Oops. My bad, turns out it was my drain cleaner they used. Knew I left it somewhere ...

There is a big difference between chlorine gas and a nerve agent like VX or Sarin. It is the latter that most people think about when they hear "chemical weapon."

I've always assumed that Iraq's chemical and bioweapons were lost in the post-invasion chaos. Rummy had the receipts, after all. Just because we never found 'em...

In fact, haven't you wondered if this was the real battle plan:
Invade with too few troops with the explicit intent of goading Saddam into using his WMD stocks as a last ditch defense. Use the horror of US soldiers dying from poison gas or biowarfare as an excuse to crack out our nukes and solve the demographic problem Genghis Khan-style. Wait a year or two for the radiation to calm down, chisel through the glass and pump out the oil...

Sounds like something Dick shot-my-elderly-friend-in-the-face Cheney could get behind. Makes more sense than what we actually did...

This is a good reason to lock Cheney, Rummy, Novak, and Rove in GITMO. Just to make sure they don't sell any more drain cleaner.

Once again, the hysteria over "chemical weapons" takes precedence over the facts. Use of chlorine gas as in these Iraq attacks is terrorism; the damage done by the chlorine gas component of the bombing is FEAR, not GASSING.

The people who were killed in these attacks did not die from gas; the gas was consumed in the explosion. They died the old-fashioned way, from the explosion. Chlorine gas is a spectacularly inefficient way to kill lots of people. The rail tanker in South Carolina that spilled in 2005 killed NINE people with SIXTY TONS of chlorine. You could kill more, and quicker, and with much less cost and planning and a thousand other things necessary to get a tanker in a particular place at a particular time, with a friggin' rifle.

But you wouldn't make the news in quite the same way.

Chemical weapons are NOT WMD.

Hello guys!!!
Best for you :)
