"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.”

Well, if an anonymous source says it's no big deal then that settles it I guess.

This "Defense Department official's" statement sounds less like a factual declaration and more like an editorial opinion (he actually seems to be repeating the Dem talking point that we went to war solely for the WMDs, and certain ones, at that). I wonder if he's a Clinton holdover?
