<p>With regard to the article you posted I would agree with the position of the vast majority of Americans, members of Congress on both sides of the aisle, the Defense Department, AND the Administration in that WMD’s have not been found in Iraq. What was “found” and reported by Fox News was outdated ordinance left over from the Iran-Iraq War which did not qualify (even by the President’s standard) as part of the “clear and gathering threat” of Iraq against the United States for which we needed to invade. The Defense department (according to the Fox article) stated that these “found” weapons were not in usable condition. Santorum (and the folks that most likely encouraged him) was making this little “announcement” in the hopes that the story would grow “legs”–instead it went nowhere, as it should have gone. The fact that neither the Administration nor most of the Republican Congress chose not to attach themselves to this particular stunt speaks volumes. The fact that Fox News was the only major cable or reg network to push the story also speaks volumes.</p>
