Ahem, WMD in Iraq

Warheads found in Iraq containing chemical weapons.

The warheads all contained cyclosarin, multinational force commander Polish Gen. Mieczyslaw Bieniek said.

"Laboratory tests showed the presence in them of cyclosarin, a very toxic gas, five times stronger than sarin and five times more durable," Bieniek told Poland's TVN24 at the force's Camp Babylon headquarters.

The administration is not hyping this find as a vindication of their prewar intelligence...yet. But this case has to get a bigger profile over the next week or so. Since the press and the President's opponents have built their case for "Bush lied" around the erstwhile failure to locate actual WMD, this story can't just be ignored, can it? Minimized, marginalized, "yes, butted" maybe. But they can't pretend it didn't happen. (via Power Line)
