WMD found in Iraq

US-led coalition forces in Iraq have found some 500 chemical weapons since the March 2003 invasion, Republican lawmakers said, citing an intelligence report.

"Since 2003, Coalition forces have recovered approximately 500 weapons munitions which contain degraded mustard or sarin nerve agent," said an overview of the report unveiled by Senator Rick Santorum and Peter Hoekstra, head of the intelligence committee of the House of Representatives....

"Weapons have been discovered; more weapons exist. And they state that Iraq was not a WMD-free zone, that there are continuing threats from the materials that are or may still be in Iraq."

Uh, this kind of seems like a big deal to me. But there is no story on either the NYT or Washington Post sites as of the time of this post. If you read the transcript of the press conference, you'll see that the report has been in production for some time, and what's been released is apparently only a small part of the whole report, so we're likely to hear more about this, I'd think. I'm just kind of fascinated by the lack of headlines about this.

Am I missing something? The President said before we went to Iraq that there were WMD. Lots of intelligence agencies said that, in fact. Since the war started, lots of people have been like, "There are obviously no WMD. Therefore, Bush lied, our troops died for an illegal, immoral, and unjustified war." They want to impeach him over it. Ok, so, now we find them, and everyone's like, "Whatever"? How does that make sense?
