the G-man said: Which republican senators "LIED" about WMDs in the past?
Okay, let's get real for a moment. 500 artillary shells armed with nerve gas are unlikely to decide a battle let alone cause Mass Destruction. That's probably why the White House didn'r run with it.

DOD disavows Santorum's WMD claims
Sen Rick Santorum (R-Pa) and Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-MI) held a press conference yesterday to announce that weapons of mass destruction had been found in Iraq, only to have their claims flatly disavowed by the U.S. Department of Defense.
Santorum and Hoekstra were talking about the degraded and inoperable remnants of Saddam's pre-1991 chemical weapons program that are turning up at various sites around Iraq. Their allegations are based on the U.S. government's own Iraq Survey Group. The very same report convinced President Bush that Iraq did not have WMD.
The DOD flatly disavowed the Congressmen's WMD claims. ThinkProgress: "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.”
Secondly, Rick Santorum is in a very tight race with Bob Casey to retain his seat in the Senate. He's grasping.
