More WMDs have been found in Iraq, in addition to the ones previously reported. Lt. Gen. Michael Maples, director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, did not give many details about the additional WMD material found in recent months, but he said he expected more to be found. Here is the Reuters article.

Naturally, liberals are trying to downplay the significance of these findings, after telling us for three years that Iraqi WMDs didn't exist. They claim that because these weapons were produced before the first Gulf War in '91, they are of degraded quality and were not an imminent threat. But, in the words of Rep. Curt Weldon (R, Pa):

For those who claim that these weapons are not the weapons of mass destruction that the United States went to war over, I would refer them to 17 United Nations Security Council resolutions that Saddam Hussein violated. It didn't say pre-'91 chemical weapons. It didn't say post-'91 chemical weapons. It said chemical weapons.
