Stephen Shalom <\/a>provides an excellent quiz on Iraq war outcomes. Here’s a sample:<\/p>\n

Presidential Press Secretary Ari Fleischer declared on April 10 “we have high confidence that they have weapons of mass destruction. That is what this war was about and it is about. And we have high confidence it will be found.” Which of the following has been a result of the hunt for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq?<\/p>\n

A.<\/b> Before the war, the Bush administration warned that Iraq might have 25,000 liters of anthrax, 38,000 liters of botulinum toxin, 500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent, and upwards of 30,000 munitions capable of delivering chemical agents. So far, these estimates have fallen short by exactly 25,000 liters of anthrax, 38,000 liters of botulinum toxin, 500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent, and 30,000 munitions capable of delivering chemical agents.<\/p>\n

B.<\/b> Despite the claim that the war was fought to prevent WMD getting into the hands of terrorists, U.S. officials allowed the looting of seven sites in Iraq where nuclear material was present.<\/p>\n

C.<\/b>U.S. troops found a “top secret” Iraqi intelligence memo at a secret police headquarters that described an offer by a “holy warrior” in Africa to sell uranium and other nuclear material to Iraq. Iraq rejected the offer, the memo states, because of the United Nations “sanctions situation.”<\/p>\n

D.<\/b> All of the above.\n<\/div>\n
