BAGHDAD, Iraq – United Nations weapons inspectors have confirmed the announcement on Monday by the Iraqi government that its soldiers had finally discovered Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction program, completely upending the history of the Iraq War, once viewed as a pointless quagmire but now seen as a tough but necessary conflict.
The New York Times became the latest news outlet to completely reverse itself on the invasion of Iraq, with an editorial now referring to it as "the greatest decision of the century."
The weapons, more than five thousand sarin gas artillery shells, six thousand gallons of anthrax, and two crude nuclear weapons, were located on Sunday in a previously-undiscovered bunker on the Syrian border by a pair of Iraqis who were using the structure as a makeshift toilet.
As the news spread, cheering crowds gathered outside the White House, waving placards like "Bush Didn't Lie, Even If Some People Did Die."
