On MSNBC's Hardball Thursday, Sen. Kit Bond was asked to respond to Sen. Rick Santorum's claim that weapons of mass destruction had finally been found in Iraq.
Bond said that the United States always knew weapons like sarin and mustard gas had been left over from before the first war in the gulf. When pressed about whether these were the missing weapons that some argued were there before, Bond said these were not new.
"But it is clear that there were deadly sarin gas and that some of that can still be used against our troops," Bond added.
Missouri's senior senator then went on to attack 2 separate Democratic Senate plans that would set a timetable and/or general exit strategy to get out of Iraq within a year. Both plans failed miserably in the Senate. But Bond, visibly energized on the program, let loose.
"If the purpose is to set a timetable, why are they saying we need to control that timetable out of Congress? Because Democrats that want to get out before the election are ignoring the troops," Bond said.
