Why cover it up? Finding WMDs would have legitimized the war, it seems like. This makes no sense.

So there *were* WMDs in Iraq, they were just WMDs that WE helped them build. No wonder we never found them. We didn't want them to be linked back to us. Bad press.

nothing was covered up.

We know there were old chemical weapons.

This does not mean Saddam had WMDs he could use.

So am I supposed to be mad that Bush was right is vindicated or that the government hid this.

I need to know where to yell at a cloud.

Here's the NYT story:


"The New York Times found 17 American service members and seven Iraqi police officers who were exposed to nerve or mustard agents after 2003. American officials said that the actual tally of exposed troops was slightly higher, but that the government’s official count was classified."

A better story would be about the sick and dead from exposure to burn pits. Not very sexy but true.

This is being dug up in an attempt to manufacture an October Surprise for the Mid Term election.

It is well known that old chemical weapons were found in Iraq.
