"That was a moment where the premise for going to Iraq was so false that there were weapons of mass destruction; she didn't do her homework. We live with the ramifications," Chafee told CNN's "State of the Union" over the weekend. "You may say that's 12 years ago — that's a big motivator for me running. If you show a lack of judgment, lack of doing homework then, what can we expect in the future?"

I am convinced that there were WMD. The question is "where did they go?"

And, lest old Lincoln get too full of himself, he became a Senator only because his Daddy died in office. He's as much of a "dynasty" politician as the Clintons or Kennedys.

Syria............They agreed to take the WMD's but Saddam had to stay in Iraq..............

You may have missed it, but there was a big article in the Washington Post and WSJ about 6 to 8 months ago. In fact, it was on the front page and was the main headline, that it was finally revealed that WMD were found in Iraq and a lot of them. They were in multiple places all across the country and if I remember correctly were discovered 3 or 4 years after the initial invasion.

Now hang on and watch your jaw drop. The Bush administration decided not to announce the discoveries and chose to keep it secret because they did not want to bring back the bad memories associated with invading Iraq. Apparently, Karl Rove is the one who pushed to keep it secret so no one would be reminded of any unpleasantness. I don't blame Karl, because ultimately it was Bush who went along to keep it a secret.

I can't remember how these papers were discovered and who disclosed it, but yes, they were discovered. Apparently, our troops came in contact with many of these weapons and did not know it and were never told.

Rush talked about it over a period of a week or so and I think National Review did an article or two on it, but I never heard it anywhere else. I know it was in the Wash Post because I saw it, but I have no idea where else the story showed up.
