Since the story broke yesterday about finding 500 Shells of Chemical Weapons in Iraq, shells that contain Sulfur Mustard Gas or Sarin Gas, the Left and their media were quick to dismiss this extremely important find by using the lame excuse that these Chemical weapons Shells were produced before 1991 and hence its not effective anymore because it has much lower quality. However in March 2003 UN report about Iraq Weapons of Mass Destruction there is the following on page 77 (Page 79 of the pdf file), paragraph 1 of the report http://www.un.org/Depts/unmovic/documents/6mar.pdf :
The Sulfur Mustard contained in artillery shells that had been stored for over 12 years, had been found by UNMOVIC to be still of high purity. It is possible that viable filled artillery shells and aerial bombs still remain in Iraq.
The above form the United Nations inspectors and the darling of the Left Hans Blix totally destroy the stupid lies that the Left and their media has been spewing since the breakings new of yesterday. First the UN clearly state in March 2003 that the Mustard gas shells they found are of HIGH QUALITY even it had been STORED FOR OVER 12 YEARS. Second the UN admit that there may still VIABLE i.e. EFFECTIVE Mustrad filled artillery shell hidden in Iraq, and yesterday we learned for a fact that there were indeed 500 Mustard gas artillery shells that were found in Iraq since the removal of Saddam. Also it is safe to conclude that the Mustard Gas shells found after the war are still in high quality and highly effective Chemical weapons.
Another very important fact to add is that Saddam had LIED to the UN inspectors and the world when he said that he had destroyed ALL his Chemical Weapons and other WMD. It does not matter whether these weapons were produced before or after 1991, his job was to destroy it ALL and not hide anything not a one ounce of these WMD, he DID NOT.
If it is in binary form, it isn't sarin yet.
Come on, he never uses so few words. Give us the rest of the story.
Here in the comments section. I've read these same things other places too.
It's common knowledge that when the MSM uses anonymous sources it's making up the information.
DoD unnammed official = BULL$#!T
I do not think the unnamed DOD official voted for President Bush
Why would a "DOD official" be afraid to have his/her name out there if they where TRUELY trying to educate the American people?
This "official" is more then likely the newspapers editor.
"The round was an old "binary-type" shell in which two chemicals held in separate sections are mixed after firing to produce sarin, Kimmitt said. He said he believed that insurgents who rigged the artillery shell as a bomb didn't know it contained the nerve agent, and that the dispersal of the nerve agent from such a rigged device was very limited. The shell had no markings. It appears the binary sarin agents didn't mix, which is why there weren't serious injuries from the initial explosion, a U.S. official told Fox News."
Cheney interview on CNN coming up...on the Situation Room.
Basically, that is all he said.
Exactly right.
Also I am not sure that the Sunni malcontents i.e. terrorist insurgents know where these Chemical Weapon shells are located.
He and his henchmen hid them so well, they were hard to find.
Iraq did have binary shells. See:

I'm loving' this.
The Left biggest lie that Bush Lied has been badly exposed yesterday, of course we expect such a behavior from Alan Colmes.
Because the DOD official was lying.
