WMDs

No posts for a few days but I just had to comment on this- the UN is reporting that material has gone missing from 109 sites in Iraq. Material which could have been used to make chemical and biological weapons. That would be WMDs then? The same WMD that Moonbats have been insisting since the war began that didn't exist? I guess Saddam needed those banned long range missiles for some peaceful purpose? Here are some choice excerpts from the article:

The commission, known as UNMOVIC, previously reported the discovery of some equipment and material from the sites in scrapyards in Jordan and the Dutch port of Rotterdam.

Perricos said analysts found, for example, that 53 of the 98 vessels that could be used for a wide range of chemical reactions had disappeared. "Due to its characteristics, this equipment can be used for the production of both commercial chemicals and chemical warfare agents," he said.

The report said 37 of 405 fermenters ranging in size from 2 gallons to 1,250 gallons had been removed. Those could be used to produce pharmaceuticals and vaccines as well as biological warfare agents such as anthrax.

So, we had nothing to worry about when all that was in Saddam's hands?
