The Good News and the Bad News -- WMDs Finally Discovered in Iraq

The good news is that the United States military has finally located viable chemical weapons in Iraq.

The bad news is that the weapons in question, chlorine gas, have been used in two insurgent bomb attacks in Baghdad and were almost certainly smuggled into Iraq or manufactured in country after the 2003 invasion. The largely ignored political implication of this development is gold for Democratic pundits. Iraq lacked Weapons of Mass Destruction before the 2003 invasion but, thanks in large part to the mismanaged occupation, has them now. Or at least terrorists in Iraq have them.

The people of Baghdad, and potentially US troops, are now under chemical attack in Iraq.

Mission Accomplished.
