About those WMDs

There's an old saying that if something is too good to be true, then it probably isn't. An updated version for these times should be that if Rick Santorum says something, it most definitely is not true.

Case in point is the story currently causing howls of joy all over the wingersphere: Little Ricky's story of the Iraqi WMDs.

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."

Looks like Santorum is as much of a liar as is the chimp-king of darkness himself. Your tax dollars at work.
