6. Did they really find these shells or is this just another fabricated
story?
Plus, I think when most of us were thinking "weapons of mass destruction", we were probably thinking along the lines of "nuclear weapons".

8. The WMD expert hunters were sent home - no finds
Remember when W/Rumsfeld/Powell said they knew where the WMD's were and our troops first job was to secure these weapons? What a joke.

10. One of those, Think Progress, is a progressive group and this is their
article:

http://thinkprogress.org/2006/06/21/santorum-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."

The White House should immediately announce whether it stands with Santorum or whether it stands behind the review conducted by Charles Duelfer and the Iraq Survey Group. Recall, in October 2004, Bush said of Duelfer’s analysis:

"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."
