You are really funny in how you're trying to spin this.

"Kimmitt said the shell belonged to a class of ordnance that Saddam's government said was destroyed before the 1991 Gulf war (search). Experts believe both the sarin and mustard gas weapons date back to that time."

Sounds to me like SADDAM LIED! (shock and surprise) and he did NOT destroy the WMD like you so desperately want to believe. And that BUSH WAS RIGHT and that he was hiding the WMD and we WERE justified in going into Iraq last year.

"He said he believed that insurgents who rigged the artillery shell as a bomb didn't know it contained the nerve agent, and that the dispersal of the nerve agent from such a rigged device was very limited"

Sounds like they were testing the effectiveness of what they had.

The Iraqi's and the terrorists that are coming in from Iran, Syria and the Palistinian Authority might not be the brightest bulbs in the chandiler but they aren't completely stupid. They see that they we've stopped, for the most part, wearing our protective masks when we go out on the streets. What better time than now, when we've gotten complacent about chemical and biological pretective measures to launch a small test bio/chem attack inside of an IED?

"Could you expect, if held accountable, for every weapon, shell, bullet, to be presented for counting? But hold onto the theory that even the administration has discounted."

As a matter of fact YES! I DID have to account for every bullet I had in EVERY ammo clip I had. I also had to be accountable for the rounds I had fired for an entire year too.

And sorry to disappoint you but BG Kimmett would NOT go to the podium today...telling the world media that the IED contained Sarin unless CJTF-7, LTG Sanchez...OCPA and Amb. Bremmer were COMPLETELY sure there was Sarin gas.

And there's no way that medics would stick an atropine injector in some guys leg uless he was DAMN SURE the guy was going to do the dying cockroach if he didn't.

Now...I SERIOUSLY doubt that either one of you armchair QB's have spent the last year in and among the people in Iraq like I have. Otherwise you wou;dn't be making these assinine assumptions and statements. So why don't you take your trolling Moby @sses bacy to the land of the DUmmies where you can live happily with the rest of the tin hat crowd!

Perhaps things have changed since I was in the service. When I joined up, I swore an oath to the Constitution and understood that I served at the pleasure of the people of the United States of America. Evidently that's not how it's done now, to judge by your snotty remarks. Perhaps you now swear to your god-king. Whatever. But there's a concept you need to warm up to: the Army serves us, not the other way 'round. That means, as citizens, we are responsible for everything you do. Some of us (frankly, not many on this site) take that responsibility seriously.

We're not armchair QBs. We're the owners.
