OMG- - READ the "declassified" NGIC "keypoints" Santorum cited re: WMD
Edited on Thu Jun-22-06 12:27 PM by npincus
That's IT? Coulda, woulda, likely, 'reported in the press", what-if, maybe... did I say the possibility exists? This is even more embarrassing than I expected. Santorum was counting that the American public has the IQ and attention span of the average FUX viewer, and that nobody would bother to READ the thing.

We have found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, chemical weapons," Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., said in a quickly called press conference late Wednesday afternoon.

Reading from a declassified portion of a report by the National Ground Intelligence Center, a Defense Department intelligence unit, Santorum said: "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."

1. LOL THAT is Santorum's "smoking gun"? LOL
Geez he's dumber than a shoebox full of dick heads...

The bright side is that he is polling so low, he is sure to lose his seat this year.

2. Isn't it funny too how Fox News gets this "exclusive" from the fedgov?
I'm sure there is no collusion there.

7. Give me 15 minutes, I bet I could make a copy of this with Word . . .
hee hee hee . . .

Gee, you'da thunk that they'd have declassified something that looked like documentation of the "finds" instead of "Okay, you asked for info about the munitions. Well, here's us saying we found them . . ."

All I have to say about that is this:

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
