Breaking news (heard on Fox News): A recently declassified document reveals that America had found some 500 chemical weapons in Iraq since 2003, and there are still more sarin-filled and mustard gas-filled artillery shells out there. We found WMDs.
Now that’s some big news. Let’s see what fronts the big newspapers tomorrow.
The biggest question is: Why was this kept secret so long? Senator Santorum and others had to fight the Bush administration to get this declassified. My guess is that they didn’t want insurgents looking for those chemical weapons, finding them, and then using them. They can’t look for chemical weapons if they don’t know they’re there.
Smart move? Not so smart move? I’m undecided.
I’m not saying this revelation should change anyone’s mind, especially since now we’re focused on what we should do next, not why we went in the first place, but this should force some people to reevaluate their ideas about Iraq.

Uh, nope. Nothing in the major papers. Nor even in the minor papers.
Not even on the front page of foxnews.com ::snicker::
Instead, the big news is: GLOBAL WARMING IS A FACT… that should shut up certain troglodytic Republican senators. May they rot in hell for consigning their own children and grandchildren to earthly perdition.
Seriously though, global warming, a truly nonpartisan concern, trumps any ideologically tinged political even, up to and including foreign interventions.
