New justification: we went to war for Kibbles 'n Bits 'n Pieces
Now that partisan war/Bush supporters don't have a plank left to stand on, they're sucking on table scraps,
An upcoming report will contain "a good deal of new information" backing up the Bush administration's contention that Saddam Hussein pursued weapons of mass destruction, Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John Warner, R-Va., said Tuesday.
The administration cited Saddam's hunger for such weapons as a main reason to invade Iraq last year.
"I'm not suggesting dramatic discoveries," Warner told reporters, but "bits and pieces that Saddam Hussein was clearly defying" international restrictions.
No, Mr Warner and the Associated Press. The administration did not cite "Saddam's hunger for such weapons" nor "bits and pieces" as the reason we had to go to war, rather, among the the stated reasons were,
"25,000 liters of anthrax ... 38,000 liters of botulinum toxin ... materials to produce as much as 500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent ... upwards of 30,000 munitions capable of delivering chemical agents ... several mobile biological weapons labs ... thousands of Iraqi security personnel ... at work hiding documents and materials from the U.N. inspectors."
