So, the administration needs to be shouting this stuff from the rooftops.

Both senior administration officials spoke to Insight on condition that neither their name nor their agency be identified, but their accounts of what the United States has found in Iraq coincided in every major area.

Bahhahahahah!

"Yeah, we found the weapons...Don't tell anyone I told you...in fact, don't tell anyone that I work for the sewer district...just say I'm a `government employee'.

"You believe me, don't you?"

Oh man, they are really spinning now! This isn't even government spinning, this Insight Rag trying to keep the small population of true believers from losing faith. I didn't think the Wolfowitz/Perle/Cheney minions could get any more pathetic, but this proves they can.

At Karbala, U.S. troops stumbled upon 55-gallon drums of pesticides at what appeared to be a very large "agricultural supply" area, Hanson says. Some of the drums were stored in a "camouflaged bunker complex" that was shown to reporters - with unpleasant results. "More than a dozen soldiers, a Knight-Ridder reporter, a CNN cameraman, and two Iraqi POWs came down with symptoms consistent with exposure to a nerve agent," Hanson says. "But later ISG tests resulted in a proclamation of negative, end of story, nothing to see here, etc., and the earlier findings and injuries dissolved into nonexistence. Left unexplained is the small matter of the obvious pains taken to disguise the cache of ostensibly legitimate pesticides. One wonders about the advantage an agricultural-commodities business gains by securing drums of pesticide in camouflaged bunkers 6 feet underground. The 'agricultural site' was also colocated with a military ammunition dump - evidently nothing more than a coincidence in the eyes of the ISG."

It was bizarre to have those camoflaged underground stores of chemicals declared 'mere pesticide' after it was given the star treatment. So what we have is a theory this was chemical weapons precursors that could quickly be converted in a conflict. Makes sense, as Iraq's chemical weapons were not stable and subject to degradation. That means it doesnt help to make the stuff before a war breaks out.

Meanwhile, the media will fall asleep.

Who in the USA has the responsibility of saying whether or not something is pesticide or WMD's ... ? And, who's been making those pronouncements to the press for the past year .... ?

I've always wondered why you'd put "pesticides" in a warhead ... maybe for long distance grasshoppers?

War JUSTIFIED. Will the press report this?

[Pagey]

The discoveries Hanson describes are not dramatic. And that's the problem: Finding real stockpiles in grubby ammo dumps doesn't fit the image the media and the president's critics carefully have fed to the public of what Iraq's weapons ought to look like.

Well then, we obviously have to find out why we're waiting so long to tell people what we've found over there. Perhaps they're waiting until they find even larger quantities and then have a big splash of a Presidential Speech detailing what we have found thus far. I like that idea. But, look at the amount of face time we've given the liberal left to pound away at "...there's no WMD's..." since the invasion of Iraq. It had better have been worth it to wait until it's closer to the election to state our findings.Talk about a calculated risk.......

If this report were true, the Defense Department Press Corp aka Fox News Channel would be announcing it 25 hours a day with O'Reilly and Hannity leading the charge.

In other news, all of the major new media and countless anti-war protestors have rescinded their claims that "Bush lied"..........NOT.
