I question the timing : )
What month is this?
there's nothing surprising about nerve agents..
Iraq used 'em against Iran for 10 years..
we used to see news footage of mustard gasses iranian's quite frequently....
this seems un-exceptional
And why are you posting an article from April, 2003? You are aware that it is now October, 2004, are you not?
How much would each vial weigh if "thousands" of them added up to 380 tons, hmmm?
Let's do a bit of quick math. Let's be generous and say that there were a 100,000 vials. 380 tons is 760,000. That means each vial weighs 7.6 pounds.
That is one chunky vial, IMHO.
Interesting, but sadly not very relevant to the recent NYT report. (maybe you could explain why you posted it)
At any rate, I wonder what the follow up is on this report anyway? Was it verified that these nerve agents were found? Or was this yet another one of those "hyped" news stories that FoxNews was sadly guilty of, more than anyone else, during that time?
Fertilizer, no doubt!
> The Iraqi authorities have not commented on the finds so far.
I question the tense.
What is the date on this story?
If someone wants to revive ignored old WMD stories, they
can get Kerry to explain why the coalition forces
encountered thousands of fresh atropine kits in the
possession of Iraqi troops.
SOMEBODY thought Saddam had deployed chemical weapons.
fyi
