How do you know it wasn't brought in from outside? There are hundreds/thousands of foreign fighters in the country since the fall of Saddam, some of them Al-Qaeda linked, and many of whom have the capability/contacts to procure all sorts of chemical weapons. Don't forget it's been well over a year that these guys have been inside iraq.
Even a significant nerve gas attack at this stage would be no guarantee that the agent used was originally made or stored in Saddam-era Iraq.

Do you have any evidence whatsoever to indicate this? Absent such evidence, the most logical hypothesis would be that the WMD came from nearby rather than faraway.
How odd it would be to assume it came from faraway lands unless proved otherwise! I wonder what would compel a person to adopt such a twisted stance.
I hope you are being sarcastic.
Now that they are starting to come out and use these weapons is proof that they were, and probably still are, in Iraq.
No matter what happens, people like you will never believe that this is a real threat.
Do you realize that most Islamic people, and yes I said most, would not care one bit if the United States was destroyed and removed from the face of the earth. It is in the Koran that they are to convert the entire world to Islam, either by the word or by the sword.
If you think these people are all "lovey dovey" for you, why don't you go and visit one of these areas where they are taking civilian hostages. Once they grab you, till them that you wish that we could all respect diversity, tell them my beliefs are as good as your beliefs.
I hope you realize that the Islamic religion does not respect diversity, in fact it will not allow diversity. The laws are written out in the Koran, and as a Islamic religion follower, you are not allowed to deviate from them at all. If you do, the punishment is death. It is that simple in Islamic culture.
So, please go to Iraq and spread the word of diversity and see how long it will take you lose your head.
We don't but does it really matter where it came from? It's in Iraq now.
No way to "know" for sure, but the circumstances argue against that. Based on the way it was used, the guys who set it probably did not know it was Sarin. Absent the rotation imparted from firing it from artillery, you don't get the mixing necessary to activate the stuff.
If they believed it to be just an ordinary artillery round, there's no need to go to Syria to get one of those. They're stockpiled in lots of places in Iraq. The facts suggest these clowns have some old Iraqi bunker with some of these things, and grabbed this one, and set it up without knowing what it was.
If you assume that it was a known WMD imported from Syria, you'd have to assume that the people who provided it know something about it, and would instruct the recipients as to its employment. But that doesn't square with the manner in which it was employed.
Iraqi defector Gazi George, a scientist who worked on Hussein's wmd programs, was interviewed on Fox this morning practically guaranteeing that more will be found.
What I want to know is, what does Lenin's useful fools over at DU, the liberal media, the DNC, the French, Russians, Germans, the UN and JOHN F'ING KERRY have to say about it?
I think everyone of them owes President Bush an apology. Wouldn't you agree?

The same way I know oral sex is sex or lying under oath is perjury.

Your lack of logic is an impeccable example of a Dimocrat. So you're suggesting that Al Qaeda made Sarin gas and installed it in an Iraqi artillery shell and then transported it to Iraq from who knows where only to be used in a way that would not properly mix the binary agent thus making the whole effort pointless, is that correct?
BTW, welcome to the board, I see you signed up today to offer this poorly considered opinion. Do you agree that it just may actually be an Iraqi artillery shell with Iraqi Sarin agent in it?
Or are you afraid that if proof of WMD's is found that the US will be vindicated in the eyes of the world? Now that would be bad, wouldn't it?!
