People in the field and in Iraq say it IS sarin.

But keep pretending that finding sarin and mustard gas is nothing. Saddam never had WMD. Saddam wasn't a threat to the US or the region. Saddam didn't have a direct relationship with Osama bin Laden. Saddam didn't know 9/11 was coming.

You are possibly the biggest Saddam supporter on FR. You think you are the only true conservative. I could write your lines myself.

And despite your mantra and parsing of words that sarin isn't technically a WMD, the former UN inspectors and military experts on this matter have continuously referredt to sarin as a WMD under generally accepted usage.

Way to stick your foot in your mouth Rumsfield.

The bright side is that the Democrats/media will suddenly stop calling for his resignation.

There have been multiple finds of chemical weapons that have been categorized as 'pesticides' including others in artillery shells and bulk storage in military ammunition dumps. If this is labeled another pesticide...it was meant for two legged pests. I for one think we ought to fumigate the UN building with some of these pesticides.

In Baghdad, officials said the bomb was apparently left over from the Saddam era.

Apparently these "field tests" are all worse than useless. They seem to have a 100% false positive rate. Like that time we found what turned out to be merely pesticides in big, camoflaged drums near military installations, but the stupid "field tests" came up positive for chem. weapons. Like that.

I don't see why we need to test anything in the first place. We KNOW there were no WMD in Iraq (because Bush lied) so what's the point of all these tests anyway. Just tell the two soldiers being treated for wounds, that this stuff probably had some innocent use. Like pesticides, perhaps.

Iraq was really heavily invested in the pesticide business.

Foxnews is just reporting in this half-hour that the Army is confirming that it is Sarin. Rumsfeld...as the administration has done throughout, is playing the role of the skeptic, so they don't get caught with their foot in their mouth.

I think Don spoke a bit to early. Understandable though, given the crap he's had to endure in the last few days.

Did it have a made in the USA label on it? LOL!

That's the real reason no WMD's will be found.

Anything they find is US made.

WOuld make for a messy show and tell.

That's a courageous guess. In other words, the munition was made sometime prior to last December?
