CBS news just showed a clip of troops handling the drums and they did not appear to be too worried about the contents. They were wearing masks but not the full MOP suit. Appears to be just insecticide. But, one report I heard was that the drums were found under camouflage. Why would they need to do that?

Wasn't that supposed chemical weapons plant from a week ago also reportedly camouflaged?

I believe the entire plant there was. In this case, only the section where these drums were stored.

And is there any update on the story about the girls' school where some Iraqi troops drove through a brick wall and buried items and then poured concrete overtop the ground? U.S. troops were supposedly there and were told of what happened and were supposed to be digging it up.

Maybe they were just burying a time capsule. Seriously, I haven't heard of this. I'd like to read about it if you have a link handy. If it's true, it is rather suspicous...the Iraqi's burying something there and the coalition troops not reporting what they've found.

U.S. Says It May Have Found Iraqi WMD Storage Site

NEAR BAGHDAD (Reuters) -
...The U.S. news station National Public Radio, reporting what appeared to be a separate discovery, said U.S. forces found a weapons cache of around 20 medium-range missiles equipped with potent chemical weapons.

NPR said the rockets, BM-21 missiles, were equipped with sarin and mustard gas and were "ready to fire."

It said the cache was discovered by Marines with the 101st Airborne Division, which was following up behind the Army after it seized Baghdad's international airport.

This thread seems to be focused primarily on the drums of chemicals being removed from Najaf, but IMHO this snippet of the article should be getting much more attention. It seems to me that many people posting in this thread are of the belief that these discoveries are one and the same, which does not appear to be the case. I would be interested in learning more about these missiles which according to reports were full of gas and ready to be fired...

I was thinking maybe they take West Nile virus a little too seriously in Iraq. Around here they just post warning about mosquito spraying that will be happening...in Iraq I guess it's "Please take cover in your bomb shelter today at 3:00, we will be shelling the area for mosquitos"

You know, it's for the times when they want to dust their crops but they don't feel like traveling all the way there. So they set up some artillery and fire some shells, dusting the crops from 10 miles away.

At least that's what the Iraqi Information Minister told me. Then we enjoyed a nice bong and wrote material for his next press conference.

heh heh.

We've got ourselves a whole little cottage industry springing up from this Information Minister.

Refresh us. What is Zyklon B and when did it kill 6 mil? I think I've heard of it, but I'm not sure in reference to? If I put 2 and 2 together, you are maybe referring to what the Nazi's used to gas the jews? (I could be way off.)

You can use oxygen to kill someone.

And don't forget about dihydrogen monoxide. That stuff is deadly. Thousands of people die each year due to excessive exposure to dihydrogen monoxide.
