WTF Is It Now?!?

(Pic removed by request. Too bad, because it was pretty cool.)

Flop sweat
Speaking of empty, worthless shells...

With more and more polls showing increases in the number of Americans who see the war as a mistake, Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Idiot) and Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-Brainlesstwat) went out and held a press conference yesterday to make a startling announcement: “we have found WMDs in Iraq.”

"Congressman Hoekstra and I are here today to say that we have found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, chemical weapons. … Since 2003, coalition forces have recovered approximately 500 weapons munitions which contain degraded mustard or sarin nerve agent..."

Oh really. Funny - the White House’s very own Iraq Survey Group knew about them quite a while ago. And dismissed them:

While a small number of old, abandoned chemical munitions have been discovered, ISG judges that Iraq unilaterally destroyed its undeclared chemical weapons stockpile in 1991. There are no credible indications that Baghdad resumed production of chemical munitions thereafter, a policy ISG attributes to Baghdad’s desire to see sanctions lifted, or rendered ineffectual, or its fear of force against it should WMD be discovered.

Fox News’ Jim Angle contacted the Defense Department who "quickly disavowed" Santorum and Hoekstra’s claims. A Defense Department official told Angle flatly that the munitions hyped by Santorum and Hoekstra are “not the WMD’s for which this country went to war.”

Doesn't sound like much of a smoking mushroom cloud, Rick. You pathetic idiot.

Fun fact: Rick waved classified documents around on air, breaking God knows how many federal laws and endangering the country: "I'll show you the classified documents right here..."

Fun fact 2: you know it's going to be a bad day when you get your ass handed to you by Alan Colmes.
