I will tell you the exact reason why this isn't going to get reported. The White House doesn't want it reported.
Reporting this politicizes the discovery of WMD. That being said, this gives Al Zarko and other terrorists cart blanche to use them against troops. "Well since they know we are using them, might as well make a big showing of it."
We ramp up our bio/chem protection units, we discover where the mother load is and then go before the American public.
Bush knows 1 shell won't get traction due to the lefts media bias. A warehouse full forces media attention. In addition if they only find a few, they can still say during the debates that they were found.
We all know that the "where is the WMD" will come up during the debates. They were found and Bush saying they were found cannot be refuted. Especially by Kerry on a stage in front of the entiure free world.
Bush is 4/5 of the way to a straight flush. he is just waiting for that last card to get played.
You have a strong possibility of being right on that.
