SARGAT, Iraq, April 4 Preliminary tests conducted by MSNBC.com indicate that the deadly toxins ricin and botulinum were present on two items found at a camp in a remote mountain region of northern Iraq allegedly used as a terrorist training center by Islamic militants with ties to the al-Qaida terrorist network. The field tests used by MSNBC.com are only a first step in the evidentiary process and are typically followed by more precise laboratory testing that MSNBC.com has not conducted. U.S. intelligence agents were conducting their own tests in the same area and had not yet released their results, according to officials in northern Iraq.

Don't feel bad. I thought it was brand new today too. Especially since WorldNet Daily had it listed as "Breaking" on their site a couple hours ago. I was news to me today as well.

When we get to a point where the regime is "gone" and we can talk with some people and search the vast bunkers under the palaces and elsewhere, we'll find the VAST tonnage of chemicl and bio weapons. Untill then, we'll continue to prosecute the war.
And if we don't find anything, then we'll have to find those three Iraqi ships still quietly circling around in the ocean, or go invade Syria where all those 8-wheelers from Iraq went just before the war started.

Thanks. It was still flagged as "Breaking" when I posted it, or I wouldn't have. Anyway, I've been following FR pretty closely and I hadn't seen it.

Could we get a print-out of these results on very stiff paper . . . roll it up into a none-to-tidy roll
and then insert same
into certain orifi on certain
traitors given to pontificating in the public arena--especially those claiming to be congresspersons for the Republic!???
[ /joke ]
sort of.
