"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."

Rest assured - the TRUTH WILL come out!

Chemical warhead at an Iraqi air base, marked with a green band, the symbol for chemical weaponry. Trace amounts of a nerve agent was found in two spots on the ~meter long warhead. The amounts could be consistent with leakage from a chemically armed weapon. A 13-foot missile was found next to it.

BINGO: Truly a "CHEMICAL ALLEY"

Near Basra, British soldiers use chemical agent testing equipment
in a stairwell leading to a flooded room at a building
used by the late Ali Hassan al-Majeed, 'Chemical Ali' .

Oh, a "nerve agent"? Exactly which one? Or haven't there actually been any meaningful tests yet?

The amounts could be consistent with leakage from a chemically armed weapon.

Or they could be consistent with Abdul taking a lead on the shell while on nighttime guard duty. Or they might be explained by any number of other reasons. Do you think that shells are carefully scrubbed and kept clean at pharmaceutical level? I think not. Plenty of chances for contamination from non-WMD sources.

Why not let the real scientists do the work with laboratory equipment? We've got time and no one who matters cares about WMD any more. I know I don't. I never did. I don't think the Iraqis do. The Weasels only pretend to. And, as is abundantly clear, only America and its partners actually matter anyway.

This whole WMD thing is so over. The only way it is still relevant to anyone is if Saddam passed WMD to terrorist groups to use against America.
