It is stunning: I still hear on a semi-regular basis from a few acquaintances quips to the effect of “Oh, everyone simply knows that there were no WMDs in Iraq, that the intelligence was just WRONG.” A few of the farther left of these acquaintances will go ahead and press for the touchdown: “Isn’t it just OBVIOUS at this point that Bush LIED?!” It’s one thing to read commentary about such people; they then seem remote, more or less properly ensconced in surreality. It’s quite another thing altogether to be face to face with someone who appears to (still) genuinely believe that a) there are/never were any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and/or b) that Bush knew this and intentionally lied about it to take us into war.

For any of you who still cling to the fantasy-land myth that is a), go read this article by Jack Kelly (hattip to Mr Boortz). A sample:

The 4th Infantry Division discovered in an ammo dump near the town of Baiji 55 gallon drums of chemicals which, when mixed together, form nerve gas. They were stored next to surface-to-surface missiles which had been configured to carry a liquid payload.

As Neal says, is the math really that hard here? Or are we still hearing that there were/are “no WMDs in Iraq” because the moonbatty left doesn’t consider the stockpile described above a “WMD” because it hasn’t been mixed yet — a process which might take a day, and probably more like a few hours?! Nitpickiness of this degree over such inane technicalities must be a genetic defect in Lefties (ala Clinton’s dissertation on what the meaning of “is” is).
