I don't think I would hold this up as "stopping a WMD attack". Stopping a massive toxic chemical release, yes, but until and unless we hear that there are precursors of VX, or other binary chem weapons, or some "chemical weapons" like mustard gas included in this wonderful cocktail, I believe it is slightly overplaying the story to state this as a WMD attack (although it certainly would result in "mass destruction").

hmm ... maybe on second thought ... it would be wise to overplay this a bit and see what the OldMedia (great designation) and Demodogs would respond to that.

Anything that would kill 20-80,000 people is a weapon of mass destruction.

There are so many threads on this that I don't remember which one but a transcript of CNN's terrorism expert was on last night and he talked about sarin gas and nerve gas as being among the 71 chemicals that were found.
