The missiles are just a pesticide delivery system for very large locusts.

[Dog Gone]

That certainly sounds promising. Unless these basic facts are proven to be wrong, it certainly seems reasonable to assume that liquid-filled shells are chemical weapons.

[whadizit]

Will not believe it until confirmed by Rummy!

hey blixy babby........

[Fitzcarraldo]

Saddam's sworn goal is to "burn Israel".
Is there any doubt a regime as brutal as this
has moved the crown jewels of their WMD program
to Syria and will eventually use them?

[Newbomb Turk]

But the battalion commander said more tests were required before any conclusions could be drawn.<

Opening one in downtown Paris seems like a good test to me.

[Cicero]

"the shells were found in trailers parked in a schoolyard."

Well, that settles it. They are probably used for headlice treatments.

Do you all think that perhaps the military is holding off on verifying these things while the war is still going on? I haven't heard that our military has yet declared any of the stuff found to NOT be WMD. Is there anything out there that says this?

[George W. Bush]

All these premature reports are either Sky News or Fox News.

Both have accumulated very poor accuracy ratings in this war. Supporting the troops is fine but I'm a little tired of Shep rushing breathlessly to the screen with yet another false report.

Enough of this BS. Report it when the Pentagon announces it after testing and stop ruining your credibility with all these false alarms, Fox. I've certainly curtailed my viewing on Fox and of the war because I'm sick of all the hysterical and false reporting they've done. I'll watch a few movies on disc instead and watch Brit Hume's and Hannity's show for more accurate news. Too bad because normally I watch FNC all the time. But not when they can't keep up minimal standards of accuracy.

A lot of people are wondering why the Iraqis never used this stuff. My guess would be as follows: This kind of thing might make a good terrorist weapon, and might could be used effectively on a battlefield against a backwards enemy such as Iran, but against American troops on a battlefield would likely be worse than useless. To even try it you'd have to mass artillery, and the massed artillery and the men who man it would instantly become targets for a MOAB or some horrific fuel-air weapon which, as we've seen, was never more than 12 minutes away on a circling B1. And all of that for the vicarious thrill of allowing a handful of American troops to test out their govt. issue chemical warfare suits.

[Prince Charles]

Nothing to see here... move along now. Those were just pesticide-tipped shells.. be on your way.

[RaceBannon]

I want everyone here to think of something:

Either we have been fiding weapons of mass destruction or we have the worst detection equipment in the world.

It cannot be both. We are declaring these to be weapons that have tested positive for sarin, lewsite, and other chemicals of dual use or definite chemical warfare use, yet each time we hear that there needs to be more testing, or a secondary 'secondary' test (since all these finds have already been tested twice by the forces at the scene and have all checked out as positives) proved it otherwise.

Well, either our equipment is lying to us, or the government is about the secondary 'secondary' test!!

So, is this a scandal of the information being witheld or is it a scandal of our equipment failing to provide accurate results?

I think our stuff is working just fine. Something is wrong with all these secondary tests, though, that or we are having much information witheld from us, either to be released later as a complete report, or to never be released.

[Iron Eagle]

I sense that this is false alarm number 673 -- give or take a few. I will wait until Franks et al confirm it, before I get all hot and a bothered.

[tiki]

I tell you what, since I know they're never going to believe this anyway we should take up a collection and let them see it and feel it in person.

[oyez]

Another WMD story that will be squashed or FUBAR by tomorrow.

[freekitty]

I would like to know what Mr. Blix and his team really did in Irag?

[ex-Texan]

[EGPWS]

"But you're talking about 2,000, 3,000 perhaps, places in this country where we know we're going to go and investigate each one of them.

I never heard Hans Blix talk like that.
