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.

"This says weapons have been discovered, more weapons exist and they
state that Iraq was not a WMD-free zone, that there are continuing
threats from the materials that are or may still be in Iraq," said Rep.
Pete Hoekstra, R-Mich., chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.

"Mere hours after Sen Rick Santorum (R-PA) announced breathlessly at a
press conference that "we have found weapons of mass destruction in
Iraq," a FOX news reporter found out that Santorum was hyping a
document that describes degraded, pre-1991 munitions already
acknowledged and dismissed by the White House's Iraq Survey Group."

Sen Rick Santorum (R-Pa) and Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-MI) held a press
conference yesterday to announce that weapons of mass destruction had been
found in Iraq, only to have their claims flatly disavowed by the U.S.
Department of Defense.

Santorum and Hoekstra were talking about the degraded and inoperable
remnants of Saddam's pre-1991 chemical weapons program that are turning up
at various sites around Iraq. Their allegations are based on the U.S.
government's own Iraq Survey Group. The very same report convinced President
Bush that Iraq did not have WMD.

The DOD flatly disavowed the Congressmen's WMD claims. ThinkProgress: "Fox
News’ Jim Angle contacted the Defense Department who quickly disavowed
Santorum and Hoekstra’s claims. A Defense Department official told Angle
flatly that the munitions hyped by Santorum and Hoekstra are “not the WMD’s
for which this country went to war.”
