What's Important
The most important thing about this story is that tests have confirmed that there was sarin in the bomb found recently in Baghdad. May I just say
Ha. Told you so.
Now before anyone starts with the lame excuses that this was only one bomb, it may be an old one, there's no stockpiles and all that, consider the second most important sentence in this story.
Saddam's government never declared any sarin or shells filled with sarin remained.
That, my friends, is a material breach, plain and simple. Which has always been the stated reason for the Iraq war, no matter how anyone tries to twist it otherwise.
Plus, do you really believe that it's the only sarin bomb in the entire nation of Iraq? Puh-lease. I'll bet you dollars to donuts that it's just like finding one copperhead....you better look around you real close cuz odds are that there are plenty more where that one came from.
Besides, even if it were the only one, one of those is one too many.
Just ask the Kurds.
Yeah we saw the headline that suspected sarin had been found last week while in route to California. Once there, we rushed to our stateroom & turned on CNN (the only available news channel) to find out what was going on.....and they finally mentioned it in passing after an hour or so. It was all Abu Gharib, all the time.
Color us surprised. [/sarcasm]

It's like claiming there was only that one cockroach.

If only we'd known about this before the war.
George Bush could have simply told America, "contrymen: there is an old rusty bomb containing sarin gas sitting on the side of the road somewhere in Iraq. We must kill tens of thousands of Iraqis and sacrifice hundreds of American soldiers to get this bomb."
We'd all have supported the war in a hearbeat.
I'm glad we now know the truth. Don't we all feel foolish for thinking there weren't WMDs in Iraq!

An even better analogy Goddess.
See, I knew you'd grasp the importance of this immediately Aaron.

Let's make sure that everyone forgets how many of his own people Saddam killed with such weapons. No, of course they didn't exist.
To be honest, I started off ambivolous as to whether this was the right thing to do, but as the crimes are uncovered and the bed-wetters fan the flames, I am more and more convinced that it absolutely was the right thing to do.

That, and the increasing evidence of links between Saddam and the Islamofascist terrorists. So far we've found sarin and mustard gas bombs, not to mention MIG's buried in the desert. No telling what we'll run onto when things quieten down enough so we can take a good look-see. And it's foolish to say that Saddam wouldn't have been happy to trade some of his toys to be used against us for a little cash.
