LONDON, April 4 (KUNA) -- British military officials confirmed today that the British forces in southern Iraq found 56 missiles and four launchers. Reports here quoted military sources as saying that the Royal Fusiliers found short-range ballistic missiles near Al Zubayr.
According to the sources, "These posed a significant threat to coalition forces and we have called in our explosives ordnance disposal team." Also near Al Zubayr, 42 Commando gained control of a fertiliser plant where they discovered chemicals and hollow shells.

Little old Hans Blix is certainly quiet these days. Where are the reporters who should be swarming him for answers?

Freedom Mustard tastes good in the morning I've heard that the only way France is going to survive the outcome of this war is if they change the name of their country to "Freedom"

the Royal Fusiliers found short-range ballistic missiles near Al Zubayr. Yeah, the allies have found more illegalities in two weeks than Blix has in 12 years.

"
Little old Hans Blix is certainly quiet these days." I read yesterday they renewed the contact for the inspection teams for 90 days.
They were going to make it a 120 but Blix stated "We couldn't do that with the war going on."
Are these people clueless or what?
