Need help with WMD debunk.
One of the fundy freaks on my parenting board is talking about the WMDs found in Iraq. Is there a thread someone can link me to with more info, something (please) that might debunk her?

Thanks.

9. WMD's, using the common sense approach
The Bush regime will go down in history as the most corrupt administration ever. Before the invasion of Iraq, I knew there weren’t any WMD's. Reason being we would not have invaded them in the first place if they had WMD's. We would have not put our soldiers in that kind of danger. Look at all the countries we avoid because they do have WMD's. You would think though after the first few days of the war, it should have been clear to the brainwashed cons that there weren’t any weapons of mass destruction. What is the reason for having WMD’s in the first place, if you’re not going to use them against an invading army? That should have been a wake up call to the willfully ignorant republicans, but no instead they chose to believe even a more ridiculous argument that Saddam moved them. Why would, he had moved them? Was he saving them for a rainy day? A little common sense!!

10. Ask her if she knows the life-span of saran and mustard gas. Then
ask her what countries do not have aged supplies of useless chemical weapons. And does she know that we have at least one Army depot in the US, Pine Bluff, AR, that does nothing except incinerate US supplies of chemical war agents.

21. Sarin degrades in anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. Mustard
gas, in soil, may take up to 10 years to degarade as the result of chemical hydrolysis and biodegradation. In air, it can break down and form other compounds.

13. I knew this shit would coming down. WMD revival was for the benefit of the
Rushbot/Hannity sector. E-mails will have different versions of the same tired story until after the election.

15. I need to find Bush's original speech on the eve of the war
the one that explains why we were going.

It sure wasn't because we were afraid of 15 year old mustard gas.

17. Mustard gas? Ah-HA!
These aren't WMDs... They're pool cleaning supplies.

19. Here, I found the speech and posted it. Remind people of why
we went to war and how what we found was not what Bush was supposedly worried about.
