GoGov.com has a fact sheet on Sarin - also interesting. Again, this is all scary.
"The American infidels are lying about sarin... this was merely baby shampoo prepared to be sent by our new speedy-quick delivery system."
My guess is the sarin used today is newly produced using pre-existing resources.
I turned on CNN to see if they were covering this story.
David Ensor(sp) was saying "the significance of this is that it shows that Saddam did have a stockpile of WMD"
The woman anchor Darrin says "bbbbbut, David, isn't it true that the shells are unmarked so that they might not be of Iraqi origin but from elsewhere and smuggled in"
Ensor says "Darrin , you ignorant slut, (NOT really but that's what I thought of)
He really said to Darrin that it is highly unlikely that they came from elsewhere. He thought they were just the tip of the iceberg. He aslo mentioned that US found shells last week with mustard gas traces on it. It was the first I had heard about that discovery.
CNN is on major spin mode trying to figure out how to disprove the story. It was quite funny to watch. Oh well, back to FOX NEWS
How dare those 'insurrectionists' use this Sarin weapon?
Geezzzz...
Didn't they get the talkingpointsmemo fax that the Iraqi prison abuse would be continuing this????
Even CNN AND MSNBC are carrying this report. Where are their priorities? People! It's the prison abuse issue! Get back on script!!!!! Mush! Mush!
Virgin Radio London England also reporting boobytrapped sarin artillery shell exploded when found by US soldiers...
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.
MSNBC: The White House remains silent on this issue. They "have not come up with" a statement.
Any takers?
Crosslink to article in TimesOnline.co.uk:

Gazi George, former nuclear Iraqi scientist, on FoxNews, saying the 'insurrectionists' either know where to WMD have been hidden or they are now bringing them back from, probably, Syria.
Newsies are trying to pass this off as an isolated incident--that the 'insurrectionists' didn't know they had a chemical weapon [bridge for sale in Brooklyn and oceanfront property for sale in AZ alert].
We will know if more Sarin-laced IED are found soon. Until then, shoebomber Reid acted alone and Muhammad and Malvo were 2 white guys in a white van.
Possible CNN/MSNBC spin:
"Coming up next, Donald Rumsfeld visits Iraq and SUDDENLY we find WMDs. Could this be a new Bush campaign strategy?"
Foxnews. Another shell found with mustard gas 2 weeks ago.
NOT the spin that is whether or not the WMD was OLD or NEW. Or NOT whether or NOT the terrorists KNEW it was sarin. SPIN SPIN SPIN is all the news media does.
FRegards,
This incident will have its 15 seconds of fame on liberal networks, then it's back to the Abu Glub Glub American prison abuse scandal.
Bush had Rumsfeld plant it when he was over there. Eagerly awaiting next poll. (just kidding)
Just a quick note. "Small" is very relative when speaking of nerve agent. I saw a picture once of a Lincoln penney. A "lethal" dose, a single drop of nerve agent, was small enough to fit into the corner of the eye of Lincoln on the penney.
