It would be funny if it weren't so true. The MSM does a great disservice to this country by not reporting the news.

If these Islamofanatics ever get their hands on a significant quantity of chemical or biological or nuclear, they will definitely use it. Our resident liberals need to get a clue and wake up.

Guy on FNC saying terrorists may have just gone to a stockpile and pulled something out, not knowing it had Sarin gas in it.

What's the possibility of that happening? Does Sarin gas sit mixed and ready to use for lengthy period of a time?

Not that we needed more reason, but I hope our Military takes this as serious as they should and opens a really big new can of WA. To include leveling mosques.

That's a good point. If this incident shows anything, it shows that these people are willing to use such weapons at any opportunity.

11:00AM: The market continues to pare its losses, with the Dow and Nasdaq trading within only a short reach of their best levels of the morning... The timing of the improvement in the market's standing off its earlier lows coincided with the announcement that the U.S. Military has found Sarin nerve agent in Iraq, as well as some technical considerations... Specifically, the S&P 500 staged a successful test of its 200-day simple moving average (at 1080), inciting buying efforts...

the Administration should come out and say "We are very concerned that the Terrorists may have discovered a stockpile of Iraq's WMD. We are monitoring the situation closely." ... then check out the reaction of the press and libs ...

The way the press works is that if a story has potential to harm Bush, they will tug at every thread; if a story helps Bush or hurts Dems, they aren't nearly as curious. I seriously think that if tomorrow we found 10,000 WMD warheads buried in the desert, the press would find some way to discount it, saying they were old, or past their shelf-life, or Hans Blix would have found them, etc. Having dismissed the WMB issue, the press will not let it come back; Bush has too much to gain if they are found.

MSNBC: The White House remains silent on this issue. They "have not come up with" a statement.

I've read 5 years as well. I'm not sure but I would expect that to be a number that relates to full potency. "Expired" Sarin might have reduced potency, but still pose a danger.

Even if they can get limited quantities, it would result in our men and women putting those hot NBC suits back on for protection. I can't imagine wearing those protective suits in the Iraqi summer heat and the degradation of our soldiers performance. This may be the tactic of our enemy just to slow our soldiers down.
