NO SENATOR SANTORUM WE
DID NOT FIND WMDs IN IRAQ

Santorum: We Found the WMD
The Bush administration commissioned the Iraq Survey Group to determine whether in fact any WMD existed in Iraq. After a year and half of meticulously combing through the country, here’s what the administration’s own inspectors reported:
"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."

Man, this is amazing, and it should tell us something about the delusional depths to which Republicans are willing to go. It's obvious at this point that, at the time we invaded in 2003, there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. The Bush administration lied to both Congress and the American public in order to advance their own weird and violent global agenda. So why the hell is the number two man in the Senate still trying to sell us this snake oil? Hell if I know, and I'm not entirely certain about whether he's willfully lying or simply willing to believe whatever supports his worldview--I mean, after all, this is the same guy who says that legalizing gay marriage is bad because it would lead to the legalization of "man on dog" marriage; never minding the fact that nobody really wants to marry a dog, his argument, if you want to call it that, is absolutely insane. Maybe he's insane.
Christ, how long are we going to let these inmates run the asylum?
