This suspected chemical warhead discovered at an air base near Kirkuk, Iraq, is marked with a green band, which sources said is the symbol for chemical weaponry.
KIRKUK, Iraq (CNN) -- Weapons experts were called Saturday to an occupied northern Iraqi air base in Kirkuk to determine if a warhead discovered there is laden with a chemical agent.

You're very brave to post this. Soon, there will be at least a dozen posters who will complain that you are personally jumping the gun on a bonifide WMD find. Of course, all you did was post a news article with that claim.
Then there will be the posters who will post another article claiming that this has been proven to be pesticides...or has already been seen by UN Inspectors and declared "safe," or a naturally skeptical-sounding comment by an official (whom ever that may be) will be quoted by another news article to negate the whole thing, ad naseum.
The resulting disclaimer articles that seem to appear almost instantaneously after a "new" find all deal with about a half dozen sites that have not all been throughly inspected or analyzed carefully. No official confirmation one way or the other has been given to any of the sites by the authorities--whom ever they may be.
These so-called WMD scoops are very confusing. Time will tell if this is credible. Unfortunately, the time it takes to inspect, test and verify does not come as swiftly as some would like it.
Sigh.

I like the part where they say a 13 foot missile was found next to the warhead but it is unclear whether the two are related. No CNN, you screw the warhead on the wheelbarrow sitting over there in the corner! Idiots.

Heck, the only people the Iraqis have ever used chem weapons on are Kurds and Iranians, who are all Muslims. Maybe you ought to check your assumptions. I think you missed the whole point of my sarcasm. Whether it's used to kill infidels, Kurds, Iranians, or whomever, this al-Canof Ra'id (Can of Raid) ain't no pesticide.
Don't be so series!

It just goes to show you that America's words regarding WMD cannot be trusted. In the end, if we don't find any we will just plant it.

Oh well, according to CNN, any of these finds are nothing more than pesticides. So, move on, nothing to see here Dang! I need to get a few of these goodies to fight back against the skeeters here in Mississippi.

Did CNN put that disclaimer in all of their Iraq propaganda pieces. Here would have been a good one.
Editor's Note: Saddam Hussein's regime is brutal and violent. We fear for our personal safety and for the loved ones of our Iraqi personnel. When reading our reports, please bear those facts in mind.
To: Timesink
How long has the Complicity News Network been including this snotty disclaimer on this pieces?Maybe they only do this when reporting on the 'propaganda' coming from US sources. They didn't feel the need to do this when reporting from Sadaam's Iraq.

Dang! I need to get a few of these goodies to fight back against the skeeters here in Mississippi.Remember when the 'Spray Man' used to unleash chemical warfare on the skeeters? We used to run behind the truck into the fog he was spraying! It always had a 'sweet' smell to it. Was that the kerosene used to disperse the DDT?
Ah, memories!

We used to run behind the truck into the fog he was spraying!Yeah, same here, except I lived in Tampa when I was a kid. We'd chase the truck with our bicycles. It's a wonder we weren't run over in the fog. The smell was from some kind of mineral oil...kerosene sounds smells about right

Prior notice was understood and read as follows:
EDITOR'S NOTE: This report was written in accordance with SADAM approved ground rules allowing CNN embedded reporting, in which CNN Agree not to disclose any pertinant information reflecting unfavorably on the Evil Sadam or his worthless sons.
