(snip) Marines discovered at least two caches of Iraq military warheads in the Iraqi countryside that were being tested as possible chemical or biological weapons.

Military sources said that warheads were found in Aziziyah, about 55 miles southeast of Baghdad. They were being run through a battery of sophisticated analyses by the military.

Another stash of rockets was found in the central Iraqi town of Sayyid Abid, military sources said, each was equipped with clear vials containing an unknown substance. Military biological hazard teams are investigating.

Finally, Army chemical weapons detection teams have been called to a field outside of Aziziyah to follow up on tips by villagers that barrels were secretly buried and then covered with concrete and dirt.

In Qatar, a Central Command official that the sites are under investigation.

Paydirt Alert -- this sounds like the real McCoy

"paydirt alert"

The tip of the iceberg... We're going to hear LOTS of these stories about "buried weapons" from civilians before all this is over, and after. And don't forget the "buried murder victims." I'm looking forward to witnessing the crow that's going to be eaten on the left.

Paging BJ Hunicutt, paging BJ Hunicutt... time to put your money where your mouth is, BJ.

This will be priceless if it holds up.

Just this morning, the usual media suspects on the Sunday morning circuit seemed to be settling into a last-ditch attempt to say that the whole war is illegitimate if we don't find WMD. If we found some, they'll have very little left (Left) to say. I'd love to see our soldiers find some WMD and make those Lefty reporters shut up.

[Martus]

Does anyone think that EVEN IF they do find WMDs that it will change the minds of ANY liberals or Democrats?

"Does anyone think that EVEN IF they do find WMDs that it will change the minds of ANY liberals or Democrats?"

Not here. The target after all for their complaining is President Bush and that has little to do with WMD.

[Mr.Clark]

No, and go to DU after the discovery, the first 30 replies will be "PLANT!"

[prairiebreeze]

Mustard gas is a WMD. It was deteched in the Euphrates. The Euphrates is in Iraq. We've found WMD in Iraq.

Case closed, lefties.

Change their minds? Probably not. Shut them up for a little while, yes. They'll be swimming at the bottom of the pond for a while until the weather clears.

[Steven W.]

this does sound "promising", so to speak. This is the second story of stuff being buried and concrete laid over - prior story involved a courtyard in a girls school.

It's more than WMD. It's also about liberating the Iraqi people.

Liberal media: the Grima Wormtongues of our time.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

We already know how the RATS are going to run in '04...they're going to try and pull a repeat of Churchill in '45 and Bush I in '92 (they never can come up with anything new).

"Oh yeah...that war thing...he did alright with that...but that's over now and it's our economy that we need to attend to here at home..."

Of course, they're implication is that Republicans fight wars, but if you want a good economy (oh...yeah...wink, wink...and get your hands on some of the "rich people's" money) you better put "us" back in power because those nasty Republicans only help their cronies and don't care if your starve and blah, blah, blah.

They're going to treat this war like yesterday's news. Now you're all safe again, let's get back on the gravy train.

We know that's how they're going to run. Can see it miles and miles away.

"We're not softening them up. We're killing them," said Air Force Lt. Gen. Michael Moseley, commander of the overall U.S. air war. "I'm not willing to tell you we killed them all, but we crippled them a bit, and those who are still walking are walking with a limp."

I just love the way they say things. This and the piece on "the cow and the flat stone" are precious.

[alnick]

Has anyone reported what was found, if anything, under the concrete at that school where an Iraqi claimed that something was hidden?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Good catch!

Case closed, lefties.

While I agree that the mustard gas alone shows that Iraq was lying all along, the case is just beginning. A few months of further assistance from witnesses on the ground, and a case will be made that should show the "anti-War" protestors exactly how stupid they were. I am especially interested in how recent some of their WMD are and who helped produce them.

[mware]

Ah, this is the stash of weapons that included the one in the box that is painted gray, (color used for bio/chem weapons.) That was one strange looking shell. It had three
valves on the tip of it.

[mware]

Heck, Juan Williams was talking about planting evidence today on Fox New Sunday.
