Even when all hope is lost, there's always a cheeseburger.

Fox News is reporting that since 2003 500 WMD have been found in Iraq. Its only several paragraphs later that we find out that the weapons were manufactured before 1991, which means by the time we invaded, the weapons had degraded to the point of unusability.

The report is misleading, and the Republicans know it. But, pre-election wrangling will more than likely cause more such reports to surface to make it seem like the President and mostly Republican Congress has actually done something good for us in their years of office.

Senator Santorum tried to persuade viewers that finding the declassified report proved we needed to be in Iraq. Unfortunately for him, Alan Combs, a Fox news analyst, called in saying: "Jim Angle who reported this for Fox News-quotes a defense official who says these were pre-1991 weapons that could not have been fired as designed because they already been degraded. And the official went on to say that they are-these are not the WMD's this country and the rest of the world believed Iraq had-and not the WMD's for which this country went to war. So the chest beating that the Republicans are doing tonight thinking this is a justification is not confirmed by the defense department."

So much for Santorum.

Don't die.
