WASHINGTON — The United States has found 500 chemical weapons in Iraq since 2003, and more weapons of mass destruction are likely to be uncovered,
two Republican lawmakers said Wednesday.
"We have found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, chemical weapons," Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., said in a quickly called press conference late
Wednesday afternoon.
Reading from a declassified portion of a report by the National Ground Intelligence Center, a Defense Department intelligence unit, Santorum said:
"Since 2003, coalition forces have recovered approximately 500 weapons munitions which contain degraded mustard or Sarin nerve agent. Despite many
efforts to locate and destroy Iraq's pre-Gulf War chemical munitions, filled and unfilled pre-Gulf War chemical munitions are assessed to still
exist."

Sarin and mustard gas were among the chemicals found. These are very potent chemicals, and certainly do fall in the category of WMD's.
Many people have said that "Bush Lied!" about the reasons for going into Iraq. This announcement should put to rest any arguments that Saddam
Hussein did not own Weapons of Mass Destruction.
The entire declassified portion of the NGIC report is available for review.
