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.
Are ya listening to DomG and his interview with Santorum??

I emailed him this thread .. I hope he reads it
N-i-c-e!!
Ha ha, I was watching fox channel last nite, a former weapons inspector was saying that mustard gas degrades over time, and that these stock would have not have been effective.
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my miscellaneous ping list.
Done.
"Not a year goes by when a Frenchman or two (and some of his farm animals) doesn't die from plowing up a mustard-gas shell from WORLD WAR ONE."
"You wouldn't happen to have a link to this? We need ammunition to use against the left's rebukes."
I found one: http://www.bbc.co.uk/insideout/south/series9/week_four.shtml
Here is one snippet from the second article on the link concerning the French problem with the WW1 mustard gas shells called "Bomb Danger"
Bomb danger?
Potentially deadly? Old UXBs may pose a threat
Inside Out investigates how dangerous live military shells and bombs are going missing before the Army or Police can make them safe.
Renegade military dealers and collectors are stealing 'live' chemical shells and bombs from the battlefields of Belgium and France.
They are then smuggling these potentially deadly munitions back through the Channel Tunnel or on the ferries into the UK for sale on the military black-market or on the web.
Some of the live shells going missing are toxic and contain chemicals that could kill.
Trench warfare - bombs are still being uncovered
It appears that toxic shells containing mustard gas and and phosgene were being stolen and were finding their way illegally back into the UK.
So many live bombs are unearthed by farmers, there are designated spots where they are left for collection by the military.
They may be 90-years-old and look harmless but the chemical agents can be as deadly as the day they were first made. Destroying them has to take place inside a high security lab.
The scale of the problem is frightening and with toxic agents like phosgene and mustard gas, it is dangerous work.
Forgot to ping you to my # 186 post concerning the French WW1 mustard gas shells!! Sorry !!
Thank you so much, TigersEye.

Wow. Please send this to Jane Harman so she can store it under her sink now.

Mara Liasson and her liberal clones need not be in charge of this country ever again, that's what!
Thanks for the nod.

By SCOTT SHANE

WASHINGTON, June 22 The United States government abandoned the search for unconventional weapons in Iraq long ago. But Dave Gaubatz has never given up.
Dave Gaubatz with an Iraq flag at his home in Denton, Tex. He has identified four sites where chemical weapons are said to be buried.
Mr. Gaubatz, an earnest, Arabic-speaking investigator who spent the first months of the war as an Air Force civilian in southern Iraq, has said he has identified four sites where residents said chemical weapons were buried in concrete bunkers.
The sites were never searched, he said, and he is not going to let anyone forget it.
"I just don't want the weapons to fall into the wrong hands," Mr. Gaubatz, of Denton, Tex., said." (continued)( 2 people posted this article to FREE REPUBLIC.) June 22 & 23)

Jveritas: This has probably been posted one time or another. However, In context of what currently going on with the regime documents and the WMD in the news it might help you corroborate one thing or another. They are exceprts from Saddam's speeches and newpapers. I hope they serve you well.
Saddam Hussein: In His Own Words
Quotes from Saddam and Iraq 's regime-controlled media
October 18, 2002
For years, Saddam Hussein and his regime have used state-controlled media in Iraq to spread lies, and threaten his neighbors and the world. Below is a sampling of quotes from Saddam and the Iraqi media -- keyed to significant events -- showing a pattern of threats stretching back more than a decade.
Excellent work on the quotes from Saddam. Thank you.
I mean really, I saw that Harman woman say on the news last night that the chemical weapons found were about as dangerous as the stuff you would find under your kitchen sink. I wish she would put her money where her mouth is and prove that to us.
