can you even imagine what this shocking story has revealed? i mean, what would happen if, somehow, an insurgent got 1 chemical artillery shell into the US, and detonated it??? MILLIONS would die, because we have no cure for sarin nerve agent. not only that, but the blast would level an ENTIRE CITY. well people, we have found the WMD's in iraq. or should i say WMD, and omg, it exploded a couple hours ago. which leaves 0 WMD's in iraq that we know of. yep, we sure found the WMD's.

Two former weapons inspectors--Hans Blix and David Kay--said the shell was likely a stray weapon that had been scavenged by militants and did not signify that Iraq had large stockpiles of such weapons.

Hey Captain read this!!!! Real healthy stuff. Ask the people killed by it in the Tokyo Subway attacks!Originally posted by CaptaiN_JacK
By the way, Iraq used Sarin on the Iranians in their war. This is one shell. How many more are out there? We don't know. However, 1 shell disproves the theory that there are no WMD in Iraq when we now have proof that there is!Comment

What it most likely means is they going to accidentaly dig up more. Because they do not really know which is which. Because very few Iraqis even knew which was which when they were mixed and then later stashed for an insurgency. And also why they were never able to produce proof they destroyed them. Because they have no idea where they all are and niether do we....
These insurgents stumbled across one. And it did not do what they wanted it to do. It did not blow up as a explosive head would and do what they intended to do with it. So both of just as suprised.
like I said. More will accidentaly surface. Because they have no way to tell one from another until you crack em open. Never did! Mark my words....Comment

Does the article say how old they are? I'm wondering if they're older like the ones found a while back by the Dutch."What we have to accomplish at this time is all the more clear: relentless criticism of all existing conditions, relentless in the sense that the criticism is not afraid of its findings and just as little afraid of the conflict with the powers that be."

I've read that it's likely a relic from the Iran-Iraq war. And if that's true, claims like this:Originally posted by Eagle
...are premature, at best. A Fark.com post compared this situation to raiding Pablo Escobar's compound and finding only a roach clip and some seeds mashed into the carpet.This is one shell. How many more are out there? We don't know. However, 1 shell disproves the theory that there are no WMD in Iraq when we now have proof that there is!Comment

to me that would mean that we are either looking in the wrong room of the compound or just not looking hard enough in the room we are in.Originally posted by spantolComment

This clearly proves that something was out there, something could still be out there, and vigilance is our only course of action.
Anything else is premature. I love how Blix and Kay immediatly come out and say this means nothing when that's clearly not the case. This does mean something. It means their reputations have a very real chance of being besmirched, and they're trying to defuse that now.Or better yet, why don't you kill yourself. No, really, die. Drop dead, don't leave a note, in fact burn your house while your little ego is stuck in a bench vice so that you'll also incenerate yourslef and everything you own with it. Because that's all you're worth. You're not even wirh thte time it'll take for the house to burn down, so just kill yourself. You're a waste of space. You are nothing, you always will be nothing. Don't leave a note, you're not worth the ink. - TygerComment

No what it means is they did not destroy them all no matter how old. No matter the reason. But claimed they did. But never claimed they had such poor control of them they just lost them. thats your NEW claim.... convenient one it is too... Makes me wonder what your motivation would be. It was there and it was theirs.Originally posted by spantolComment

Heh. Touche.
I read it differently--the raid was predicated on the presense of thousands of pounds of cocaine, and after extensive searching, we've found a postage scale and some zip-lock bags. Or rather, they fell on our heads when we checked the closet. Or something. I'm lost in the metaphor.
Still, and back on topic, this is still a developing story--all speculation is premature at this point. The "I told you so"s, if they're due, can wait until the details are more clear.

Well again I said this long ago.... It would really take YEARS to search all that place. No way we will ever find em all on our own. And I betcha they do not even know where they all are. This is most likely evidence of at least that. And for the people of Iraq thats a shame.Comment
