Bosco,
As far as I've heard, it was just one shell... FoxNews estimates put it at 25+ years old.
The age doesn't matter that much. Whoever set-up the IED wit this artillery round knew "exactly" what they were doing.
Artillery ordinance is clearly marked as to its type and composition, regardless of what nation manufactures it. Lot and date codes are essential information that's also included.
The shell was reportedly 155mm ordinance. That's designed for long-range artillery, NOT the smaller caliber mortar tubes carried by a three-man team.
Let's examine another question. Why did this show up NOW ?
It repressents partial (political vindication) for Bush.
I believe the Iranians-Syrian-Franco-Russo-German Axis is getting pretty damn nervous about the SUCCESSFUL Anglo-US Irqai mision.
Their recenty "defeated in detail" Falllujah counter-offensive against the U.S., plus Bush's recent Syrian trade embargo, points to heavy covert diplomatic-military action against the enemies of Iraqi Democracy (gleaned from Wretchard).
The (recent) appearance of chemical weapons in Jordan, and now in Iraq, point to a dangerous escalation by ALL sides.
Fortunately, WE will be victorious.

The left will say it was from another country, or that Bush planted it.
IMHO The only way Bush will ever be believed will be if Saddam starts talking. Which sounds like he will be doing very soon.

Too bad we didn't find it until it exploded. Hopefully we can find the rest of the WMDs before the explode on our troops.

Don't worry about the media...they're already describing it as a non-WMD attack because this type of round is considerably more dangerous when used as designed...as an artillery shell.
Amazing the contortions required to put ones head up ones ass, eh?

Two weeks ago, U.S. military units discovered mustard gas that was used as part of an IED. Tests conducted by the Iraqi Survey Group (search) and others concluded the mustard gas was "stored improperly," which made the gas "ineffective." I'm glad Iraq isn't ISO-9000 compliant.

Bush is feeling the heat...we'll "discover" more..the right wing media will spin for the administration..the fear factor will go into affect... and Bush's numbers begin to climb.
Lets just hope thinking minds prevail here. We knew there were old weapons around.. but thats a far cry from an immediate threat, active weapons programs, supplying the terrorists with WMD's. WE supplied the terrorist with WMD's.. both in the 80's, and now with a total failed policy in Iraq, anything that wasn't destroyed by the inspections is up for grabs by anyone who finds them.
We went to war because we were 45 minutes away from a chemical attack, nuclear attack, and Saddam was supposedly giving arms to terrorists. That has all turned out to be a lie. We have created more terrorists in the last year than we could have ever imagined existing prior to this mess. |

Rumsfeld planted the device when he was overthere in an attempt to get the poll numbers up.
That will be the Headline tomorrow.

This makes me wonder what happened a couple weeks ago when members of the Iraqi Survey Group were killed in the explosion. It sounds like Gen. Kimmitt let the cat out of the bag even though the adminstration was keeping things quiet for some reason.

That's already been said over at CAMP KERRY.

"suffered symptoms consistent with low-level chemical exposure"
The two soliders are very lucky they are not dead. Sarin is nasty nasty stuff.

Yes, I heard even 1 drop can kill you. I wonder what the long term effects will be.
