To add to Green's post (thanks Green, I hadn't heard about the elementary school):
MSNBC has this footage they've been showing about a HUGE armory that's been found SW (Ithink) of Baghdad. They are astounded at the amount of munition there.
The most compelling part of this story though, was discovering munitions that have had plugs put into the ends of them, supposedly for refilling them with things other than the standard explosive usually applied
AND a cannister that had Russian markings and THREE plugs in the end along with a hose nozzle attachment. David Kay, prior UN inspector says although he hasn't seen anything quite like it before, its' obviously for instilling binary components and the nozzle for spray distribution of such agents.
Pretty incredible

Thanks Priairie. I forgot about that news. Hard to remember it all sometimes, it seems to be very slow or all of the sudden happen all at once.

That is incredible. While I have never doubted that Saddam had these weapons it is still staggering to me when they find the clues. I am sure there will be Russian fingerprints on many of the discoveries, I don't think they lost their Cold War mentality when it comes to fermenting trouble and chaos in the region.
Green, I am really sorry I missed the embed reports from last night. I should be in a hotel in a few hours so I hope to see some replays.
