Lingo Over Weapons of Mass Destruction

I have recently noticed that the lingo being tossed around regarding WMD's has changed from 'any' to 'stockpiles'. The administration has not confirmed or denied the existence of WMD discoveries (and there have been, links below), but is saying they have not found the expected 'stockpiles'. I wonder why the discovery of WMD's in any instance has not been touted and propped up more.

Really, I think the answer is because it is insignificant. Anyone with a true quest for knowledge knows we have found WMD's, the militants even have tried on more than one occasion to use them against us. We found missiles, canisters of sarin gas, and a new book out, the name of which escapes me at the moment, mentions prrof anf cites sources regarding deployment of WMD's by Saddam in the prewar Iraq, even a ricin deployment in preperation of defending Baghdad, and a paper trail conclusively proving several suspected things, but still no fallout, one way or the other.

here are some interesting links regarding WMD discoveries ( and discoveries of terror camps the left says didn't exist in one link)

I can produce more, if need be.

Opinions? Why is there no focus on the WMD discoveries? Is it because they are not 'large stockpiles'?

EXCUSE ME! You mean we went to war and killed over 1000 US soldiers, more coallition forces and TENS OF THOUSANDS OF IRAQIs and we can't even be bothered to count?

WHAT KIND OF MADMEN WOULD START A WAR OVER THIS?

Sometimes people argue that WMDs were secretly spirited away to other countries. HELLO! Wasn't that considered as a possiblity? If you have WMDs CONTAINED under Saddam now dispersed to lord only knows where doesn't that just MAKE THE SITUATION WORSE?

If some of you WAR HAWKS could get your heads removed from your posterior you might be able to think and act straight.

Whoa dude, chill!!

Answer the man's question instead of screaming and yelling, 'k?

Let him scream. They'll all be screaming for blood come November 3rd (and multiple recounts).

As far as being a war hawk, I don't recall specifically mentioning support for the war effort in this topic. Support for the war or opposition to it was not my point here, the lack of reporting on the factual WMD discoveries thus far is my concern. But thanks for posting anyway.

Oh, and for the record, I am traditionally an opponent of war. I was against Magadishu campaign, Kosovo (where there WERE in fact, US deaths, contrary to those idiots on the Clinton admin. that are trying to suppress the info in the name of legacy-building), and the rampant, continued, uncalculated bombing of Iraq during the entire duration of the previous admin (check the numbers, many more Iraqis died at the hands or as a result of allied bombing during Clinton's Presidency).

In this case, based on the things I have seen, heard, and read/discovered, I support the war in Iraq, and the radical advancement of George W Bush's foreign policy. Just because the radical left views any sort of overt display of self preservation or destruction of a percieved threat as 'imperialism' doesn't make it wrong. It makes it a different view, held by the man in office.

I thought the way in which NATO, under the command of Clinton's lapdog Wes Clark carelessly bombed the Balkan region regardless of civilian cost was a humanitarian disaster, but because a looney lefty was in office, noone said a word and turned a blind eye to a war waged without even mentioning a threat, real or perceived, to America. Not to mention the way in which Clinton's cronies secretly advanced the cause of rebel Chechen fighters to establish an independant nation they could push their oil pipeline through. We all recently saw how well they did their job, huh? Now Putin is getting tough on terror and the lefties are screaming over his method. So, in summary, I generally don't like war, and take the dove side of the issue.

But I do appreciate the generalization and stereotyping.

And again, why were the WMD discoveries mentioned thus far not reported in the mainstream or given anything more than a passing mention? The whole 'reason' we went and the media doesn't even take notice?
