Congressman Weldon: There WERE WMD In Iraq!

You read it here first.

Congressman Curt Weldon, representing Pennsylvania's 7th district, stated this afternoon on the Michael Savage show that he is now in possession of a document entitled "Continuing Evidence of WMD In Iraq" which, he states, provides information indicating that Saddam Hussein did in fact have WMD (to consist of missiles capable of transporting Sarin gas), and that Hussein moved much of what he possessed via aircraft to Syria.

Fox News broke this news an hour or so ago:

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.

The National Ground Intelligence Center was forced to revel a portion of a report (go here to see this report) referenced by Senator Santorum. The report indicates that "Since 2003, coalition forces have recovered approximately 500 weapons munitions which contain degraded mustard or sarin nerve agent."

"This says weapons have been discovered, more weapons exist and they state that Iraq was not a WMD-free zone, that there are continuing threats from the materials that are or may still be in Iraq," said Rep. Pete Hoekstra, R-Mich., chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.

If this story turns out to be TRUE, then it will be THE critical TURNING POINT on the War Against NOT "Terrorists" but the TRUE "War on Islamists."

The ridiculous argument offered by the Dems and the DEM will finally, truly, be shot full of holes.

But the overaching question that begs even more questions: WHY WAS THIS REPORT NOT MADE PUBLIC UNTIL NOW?

The weapons are thought to be manufactured before 1991 so they would not be proof of an ongoing WMD program in the 1990s. But they do show that Saddam Hussein was lying when he said all weapons had been destroyed, and it shows that years of on-again, off-again weapons inspections did not uncover these munitions.

The release of the declassified materials comes as the Senate debates Democratic proposals to create a timetable for U.S. troops to withdraw from Iraq. The debate has had the effect of creating disunity among Democrats, a majority of whom shrunk Wednesday from an amendment proposed by Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts to have troops to be completely withdrawn from Iraq by the middle of next year.

Can you imagine a pull-out from Iraq predicated upon information such as this?

Santorum said: "This is an incredibly — in my mind — significant finding. The idea that, as my colleagues have repeatedly said in this debate on the other side of the aisle, that there are no weapons of mass destruction, is in fact false," he said.

Once AGAIN the Dems and the DEM get it wrong. And -- in truth -- the GOP got it wrong too.

-- WHERE has this report been hiding?

-- WHY was it buried?

-- WHY didn't President Bush have access to this report until now?

-- WHO is responsible?

-- WHAT is the motivation for burying the report?

-- HOW was this report allowed to languish for such a long time?

This will easily be the story of the week -- and more!
