I think an address to the nation at 8:00 would be better. Then a presser after a brief presentation on the efficacy of Sarin and it's historical uses in Kurdistan.

These reporters don't really hold a "job" just a political agenda to pursue...whatever story they think is working to destroy this administration...that's what they focus on and everything else is brushed aside...yes it is scary especially what the media ignores more than what they report...

That is a point that is not being explained.
People expect to see piles of weapons such as in WWI or WWII, it's as if they don't get the meaning of SUITCASE BOMB!!!

Yep. A teaspoon of VX can do lots of damage. LOTS.

Course for my money, we can never get too much of the angst over the Arab Grab fiasco! Just think how the porn industry is doing now.

Speaking of which, Today is the day everyone must rewrite the old testimate to include adam and steve. The Sup ream court in Mass sez so!

It is estimated it will take several years to explode all that ordinance. I do hope they examine all of it before exploding it.

"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 ... if they belittle it that means they are not willing to connect the dots and do not care about the safety of the troops"

Sounds like it's time for the Church of the Bully Pulpit...

Besides, knowing what we do about Sarin, and, God forbid, if they ever get hold of VX (which is not the same as Sarin, I stand corrected), do you want that stuff eliminated over there, or over here (which would make 9-11 seem like a playground scrape by comparison)?

Ooops, sounds like the premise of the whole thing from the beginning..."preemption"?

I think we have a basis for W and co. keeping this quiet and classified. We do not want the bad guys to find this stuff if it is still dispersed. They are getting the shells from somewhere and are too stupid to know about the wet ones. I think we tried to conceil this but the bad news of the killing of the shiite head of the council made it necessary to turn the rudder a bit back toward to the president. We may not want it known that there are hundreds of mustard gas shells either. Better to run off a tally of these finds at the convention (Before october, after the coming Kerry Love Fest)

But we have seen piles of weapons. School rooms loaded with weapons. Mosques loaded with weapons. Although not WMD weapons, weapons none the less. Weapons most likely acquired from "oil for food" program monies; monies that were supposed to go toward education, health-care, etc. People are choosing not to see it.

"Members of the media really need to be labeled properly and forced to identify a "side" in any given conflict they report on. How are these frauds technically different than Baghdad Bob?"

Somehow, the thought of Dan Rather wearing a lapel-button that says "Liberal" amuses me.

WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT about this is that it marks an escalation in the war. The enemy combatants have used WMD on the US and its allies for the first time.

Question is did they know it was filled w/ sarin?

Mosques loaded with weapons this shell probably came from a box buried in a Falluja mosque's basement.
