LONDON, April 4 (KUNA) -- British military officials confirmed today that the British forces in southern Iraq found 56 missiles and four launchers. Reports here quoted military sources as saying that the Royal Fusiliers found short-range ballistic missiles near Al Zubayr.

According to the sources, "These posed a significant threat to coalition forces and we have called in our explosives ordnance disposal team." Also near Al Zubayr, 42 Commando gained control of a fertiliser plant where they discovered chemicals and hollow shells.

Reports here quoted a source at the Central Command in Qatar as saying, "We don't know what the chemicals were yet and we're still trying to establish that."

Hollow shells? Hmmmm. In a way, it would be better if the British found the WMD..

Little old Hans Blix is certainly quiet these days. Where are the reporters who should be swarming him for answers?

[ImProudToBeAnAmerican]

Talk about shooting blanks...

The French Mustard people have been going bananas trying to tell folks that it is not made in France..

[Sunshine Sister]

French's mustard is American.

[ImProudToBeAnAmerican]

I read he's going to retire when he contract comes up for renewal in the VERY near future...(sneaking out the back door, it appears).

Freedom Mustard tastes good in the morning

I've heard that the only way France is going to survive the outcome of this war is if they change the name of their country to "Freedom"

*Most are too busy trying to twist the headlines to fit their agenda, and then you have others who are too busy drawing maps in the sand and such...

Yeah, the allies have found more illegalities in two weeks than Blix has in 12 years.

[ShootMeIfHillaryRuns]

They would make a killing if they REALLY did change their name to Freedom Mustard! I would buy it...

[adam_az]

...I'm the fastest Freeper in the West!

[marlin]

"Little old Hans Blix is certainly quiet these days."

I read yesterday they renewed the contact for the inspection teams for 90 days.
They were going to make it a 120 but Blix stated "We couldn't do that with the war going on."

Are these people clueless or what?
