Why isn't Sadaam using these WMD? Or is he just leaving them around for everybody to find them?

It's okay - French's Mustard is not from France - and it wasn't even invented in France. It was named for the guy who created it - his last name just happened to be French. Let's not get paranoid.

I wonder where the Iraqis would have gotten such shells. Probably from the Shell store, I reckon.
