As to the US government "leaving them around", note the individual walking behind the boxes in the 1st pic of the second row. Note the uniform. These things clearly were not just left around. Another bad assumption. An individual walking in the background means only that there is an individual walking in the background. I went to your Web site, and frankly I'm surprised you are being affected so deeply by photographic "evidence," which is always suspect. I can't believe the conclusions you're drawing. So people in the army are free to shoot pictures in sensitive areas? Excuse me while I call the President to complain about this laxity. We don't need no steeeeenkin' WMD. They were/are there. They are likely buried on the sites that were dismantled so that there will be unhappiness when new building foundations are dug, or in any number of other countries.

What conclusions do you think I am drawing?

As I have stated to people on this thread...I have no doubts that the chemicals for chemcial weapons were in Iraq. Saddam used them himself in times past.

He either shipped them out of the country or buried them. With or without WMDs, IMHO, we were completely justified in going into Iraq because of its abject violation of agreements it signed to halt hostilities in Desert Storm. We were long past and delinquent in reacting decisively and bringing Saddam down IMHO.

As to these pics...they are interesting. To me, it indicates there is evidence being found in Iraq of chemicals that could potnentially be used as weapons still around. That's all. We are getting some pretty good and interesting replies. That's part of what makes FR so addicting, influential, a source for activism, and a place to meet others and to learn.

Yes i agree wit tech editor here. I too believe they exist and yes indeed these could be part of a stockpile but what we need is PROOF. DOnt get me wrong, its there...but what we need is photos like these and the scientific documentation to back it up so no one, not even Blix himself, can doubt it.

I mean look how confusiong it gets with a leak...we have had so many false dawns on this..what i want is the documentation to say..NOW SCREW YOU BUDDY , (sound of a manual 300 pages long, hits the desk) READ IT AND WEEP...and we will be outside waiting for the apology (which we all know will never come)...

I dont doubt your pictures dude, and good for you finding them. I do notice that the camo guy does not appear to have a chemical suit on...and i for one would not be walking around barrels like that without protection...anyways...it is there...lets all hope your pictures are the beginning...
