Could this be why the waters of the Tigris tested positive to chemical weapons when they wanted to use it to supply Basra?
To: American in Israel
I hadn't heard about the chemical weapons being detected in the Tigris, but hardly unexpected if they buried the stuff as reported in this article.
Hard to believe that anyone could be sooo stupid. Here they are in the valley of two of the world's largest river system. They are less than 100 feet above sea level and still over 300 miles from the sea and yet these brain-dead idiots think they can hide it by burying it!
Boggles the brain. Real Darwin Award material!

I don't know how long the full verdict on the extent of the Iraqi WMD program will take to come out. I doubt they destroyed these things in 5 days. The US still is dealing with how to destroy chemical munitions after years.
I just find it odd that all the preliminary finds so far have been dismissed as "pesticides" or "agricultural". The question is, how big was Iraq's agriculture industry? Why were these pesticides found in close proximity to military equipment? Like I said, this will take some time and some scientists with loose tongues.

Anyone know what became of the underground city below the nuclear facility, the one that field tested for plutonium?

I'll second that question. Last I knew the fact that high levels of radiation had been detected was being swept under the rug by the mainstream TV media. Reporting plutonium (which is really only used to make bombs, let's be honest) is just way out.
