Media: "Psst! They found Saddam's WMD's! Don't pass it on!"

Guess what ISIS extremists have claimed and the Obama administration has admitted- and the mainstream media is keeping mum about?

It seems that less than 50 miles from Baghdad was a chemical weapons factory used by Saddam to manufacture sarin, mustard gas, and nerve agent VX, manufactured to prosecute the war against Iran in the 1980. The Iraq Study Group claimed that the weapons stored there were effectively destroyed, but contradicted that conclusion in the same report. Another report also contradicts it:

Although the damaged Bunker 13 at Muthanna contained thousands of sarin-filled rockets, the presence of leaking munitions and unstable propellant and explosive charges made it too hazardous for UNSCOM inspectors to enter. Because the rockets could not be recovered safely, Iraq declared the munitions in Bunker 13 as ‘destroyed in the Gulf War’ and they were not included in the inventory of chemical weapons eliminated under UNSCOM supervision.

Because of the hazardous conditions in Bunker 13, UNSCOM inspectors were unable to make an accurate inventory of its contents before sealing the entrances in 1994. As a result, no record exists of the exact number or status of the sarin-filled rockets remaining in the bunker. … In the worst-case scenario, the munitions could contain as much as 15,000 liters of sarin. Although it is likely that the nerve agent has degraded substantially after nearly two decades of storage under suboptimal conditions, UNMOVIC cautioned that ‘the levels of degradation of the sarin fill in the rockets cannot be determined without exploring the bunker and taking samples from intact warheads.’ If the sarin remains highly toxic and many of the rockets are still intact, they could pose a proliferation risk.”

ISIS now controls the facility.

So the apology to George W. Bush will be issued when? Probably shortly after the mainstream media reports the actual facts. Which will be never.

And how about that "Bush lied, people died" meme? Hillary Clinton said in 2002

In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members … It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons.

So the Left will apologize to Dubyah and admit to its own lies when?

Probably right about the time that apology is issued.
