Well, looks like Sicky Rantorum ed up again. Seems the pentagon is disavowing Sicky's claims:
Today, Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) and Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-MI) held a press conference and announced “we have found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.” Santorum and Hoekstra are hyping a document that describes degraded, pre-1991 munitions that were already acknowledged by the White House’s Iraq Survey Group and dismissed.
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.”

The #1 rule by which Karl Rove runs campaigns. Rule #2 is "if you muddy the waters badly enough and make issues look far more complicated than they really are, people will get bored and stop paying attention. Then you can rob them blind."
Pre-gulf weapons don't surprise me to much, I mean he was invading Kuwait, but I don't remember hearing about them using nerve agents back then. That kinda steps up the fight a bit.
