Nothing on the cable news stations. I’ve got the local ABC affiliate on now and haven’t heard anything.

Well if they couldn’t find it in Iraq how are we suppose to believe they found it in their own building.

weapons inspectors discovered six to eight vials of a dangerous nerve gas, phosgene

Phosgene isn't a nerve gas. It works by combining with water in your lungs and forming hydrochloric acid which damages lung tissue. It does not work on neurotransmitter chemicals.

I’m sure there’s a perfectly logical explanation for why someone had vials of nerve gas in his/her office.

I once worked in a chemical plant that made that stuff for industrial use.

Had to look the stuff up. Sounds VERY common for industrial purposes meaning the stuff could have come from anywhere.

Update from abcnews.com:
The federal authorities said the office, in a U.N. building near headquarters, was being evacuated and the White House had been notified at 10 a.m.

New York police and fire officials reported to the scene around 12:15 this afternoon.

A U.N. spokesperson said a statement would be issued shortly.

Authorities said the phosgene was believed to have been discovered in Iraq and manufactured prior to 1991.

Former U.N. weapons inspectors told ABCNews.com that vials of phosgene had also been used by inspectors in Iraq to help calibrate air sampling instruments.

The former inspectors said the remaining vials were supposed to have been destroyed.

“If it is properly sealed, it should not pose much of a threat unless it is dropped,” said former New York City emergency services director Jerry Hauer, an ABC News consultant.

“They need to get it out of there and put it in a safe canister,” Hauer said. “It shows immense stupidity to have that kind of thing sitting around as a souvenir.”

I’d make a joke in the poorest of tastes, but Marxocrats and the dinosaur media are in overdrive trawling for “proof” that FR is a hate site.

Was this found in a closet in Koffi’s old office?

The one he had the black box in, the black box from the plane crash that killed an opponent of his.

I wonder what else is stored in the UN building?
