Yeah, and there were never any terrorists in Iraq before the US came, and there were butterflies aplenty and kite flying arabs country-wide.

Sure there were, they were all up in Kurdish controlled Northern Iraq!

 
I heard this report on NPR this morning. Thee vials were in two brief cases and all labeled in English. They're being tested for origin. We'll probably not hear anything more on this.
 
taken from csmonitor:

In the course of locating seven weapons caches in a single block around a mosque in northeast Fallujah, an Iraqi platoon Wednesday found a suitcase full of vials labeled "Sarin," a deadly nerve agent.

While further analysis determined that the find was probably part of a Soviet test kit with samples, its discovery in a room with mortar shells appeared to indicate an intent to weaponize the material.




hmm labeled in english and probably a soviet test kit, sounds like they got it on the black market to me, not a weapons program. just imho.

I think before anyone makes any further speculation, we wait for a more complete story.

yes I think so too. we've had too many WMD reports that turned out to be wrong
 
Anyone remember what happened back in May when they discovered Sarin in a warhead? I never heard a follow-up to that incident...

i'm not exactly sure its the same one i'm thinking of, but I remember it was from a really old warhead and the surmised that there might have been a few that the Iraqis forgot to destroy since they do not label to differentiate a normal warhead from a WMD one. The warhead was old so it was not proof Saddam continued his WMD project recently.

Where would these guys be getting sarin from?

The US via Saddam in the 1980s...

Sarin has a shelf life of 2 months. After that it breaks down and ultimately becomes useless.


If that's the case then it did not come from the former regime then and more then likely came from the black market. Maybe Pakistan's Dictator President is up to his old tricks again ??
