For Diehards, Search for Iraq's W.M.D. Isn't Over

[cal04]

The United States government abandoned the search for unconventional weapons in Iraq long ago. But Dave Gaubatz has never given up.

Mr. Gaubatz, an earnest, Arabic-speaking investigator who spent the first months of the war as an Air Force civilian in southern Iraq, has said he has identified four sites where residents said chemical weapons were buried in concrete bunkers. The sites were never searched, he said, and he is not going to let anyone forget it.

More than a year after the White House, at considerable political cost, accepted the intelligence agencies' verdict that Mr. Hussein destroyed his stockpiles in the 1990's, these Americans have an unshakable faith that the weapons continue to exist.

The proponents include some members of Congress. Two Republicans, Representative Peter Hoekstra of Michigan, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, and Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania held a news conference on Wednesday to announce that, as Mr. Santorum put it, "We have found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq."

1. "We have found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq."

2. I thought there were WMDs

and I was still against the invasion of Iraq. You can imagine how I felt after it was revealed that all they had was a few shells from over 15 years ago that probably don't work properly anymore. Saddam was not a threat to the American homeland with or without WMDs

3. Sorry Ladies don;t mean this in a bad way

The Fat Lady sung here on WMD's what they found was outdated weapons from papa Bush's day and Clintons time

4. Some people are still looking for Amelia Earhart too.

At least she existed.
