Well, not really. The news from the Washington Post might lead you to belive we found those long lost WMDs, but not exactly.

U.S. troops raiding a warehouse in the northern city of Mosul uncovered a suspected chemical weapons factory containing 1,500 gallons of chemicals believed destined for attacks on U.S. and Iraqi forces and civilians, military officials said Saturday.

Monday’s early morning raid found 11 precursor agents, “some of them quite dangerous by themselves,” a military spokesman, Lt. Col. Steven A. Boylan, said in Baghdad.

Truth of the matter, as the article continues is that Lt. Boylan believes that the:

suspected lab was new, dating from some time after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. The Bush administration cited evidence that Saddam Hussein’s government was manufacturing weapons of mass destruction as the main justification for the invasion. No such weapons or factories were found.

However, this still causes plenty of reason for alarm, where are these chemicals coming from, and where are they going; let us not forget that Al Qaeda has stated that it would look to obtain chemical agents for use against the West and its allies.

Prior to the US-led invasion Iraq was not the frontline in the War on Terror, but now it most certainly is, and to pretend otherwise and call for immediate withdrawal while these very dangerous weapons remain unsecured would be criminal.
