Iraq's WMD came from the US.

Former U.S. Army Counterintelligence Agent David DeBatto, is re-releasing his statement, first made two years ago in the spring of 2004, that his tactical human intelligence team or THT, as well as other American intelligence teams in Iraq, found solid evidence of Iraqi chemical WMD is the spring of 2003. DeBatto’s team located an Iraqi Air Force bunker filled with dozens of high explosive bombs laden with chemical agents, chemical protective suits and chemical detectors. The Iraqi Air Force officer that led DeBatto’s team to the site testified that he personally hid them from UNSCOM (the UN weapons inspection team) for over eight years by playing a “cat and mouse” game with “Scott Ritter” and “Hanz Blix”, during the 1990’s and leading up to the war in 2003. The bombs were buried in several hidden locations during the UN inspector’s visits and then dug up and moved to other, secret locations after the inspectors had left.

One of the most memorable things about the WMD, DeBatto said, was that the bombs had been sold to Iraq in the late 1980’s by the United States. The bills of lading were still attached and perfectly legible. The entire weapons cache was photographed and videotaped for U.S. Army Military Intelligence and hauled away almost immediately after DeBatto’s discovery by a British Army ordinance disposal unit. DeBatto has been unable to get the Pentagon to release any information concerning the disposition of the weapons since he returned from Iraq.

1. What's the point here? Saddam did have weapons and we found them

but because of where they came from couldn't advertise the fact?

2. Just another piece of the puzzle.

Clearly Bushco knew these old weapons were of little use to Saddam - which is why the DoD said "these are not the weapons we went to war over". There's no way old mustard gas shells warrants "shock and awe" and all but Santorum seems to understand that.

I just think this is yet another reason why the DoD made a point of not releasing the information on these shells -- because Saddam got them from Ronnie. Definately doesn't do the Republicans any good to let the world know they "shock and awed" the everloving snot out of Iraq over WMD that came from Ronald Reagan.

3. What a great deal for us!

We sell the weapons to them and then years later, we confiscate them.
Are they in our arsenal now??
