Something to keep in mind when we hear reports that the suspected chemical weapons now being found in Iraq are actually only pesticides.

Thank you for this. Your timing is timely, as I was just at MSNBC as they showed their exclusive video of the dirt covered cannisters and Lester Holt (who seems like a good enough guy) cautioned the substance may turn out to be "just" pesticide.

Ah, Brit just said they'll discuss. I forgot his show starts now. We in Arizona do not change our clocks so these cable shows that air at once all over the country come on one hour earlier now. They just said testing continuing. I also see there is a thread that claims these containers have already been proven to be "only" pesticide. Well, there are the missiles equipped with warheads that contain something. Odd place to store "pesticide". There are several sites under investigation, that I know of.

Seems there are two sites at this plant with barrells -- the above ground site that the French newspaper was talking about was pesticide.

What they found below ground is what tested positive for chemicals used in WMD. There were I believe 14 barrels buried in a trench with camouflage over the top of them.
