    WOW. While this may confirm what many of us already knew, it may go a long way towards shifting public and worldwide support for the war. Anyone who definitively declares there to be no WMD in Iraq is simply speaking out of school and is incredibly premature.

    Jorge, I'm hoping this turns out to be true. The sight of you and the rest of the peanut gallery trying to square a leftover 25 year old artillery shell (that apparently exploded in somebodys face without injuring anybody) with the pre-war statements of the Administration leaves me giddy with anticipation.

    I mean at least now you can rest on the threat that wasn't there and say that you harbored a good faith belief that Iraq was a threat. Your argument gets infinitely weaker when you cite things like this as threatening.

    It'll be more fun than watching you speak out for torture!

    Cheers.

    Good, it'll distract you from the Orlando Sanchezian disaster transpiring in the Walker Bush campaign. :)

    Please, let's waive the preliminaries for now and assume for the sake of argument that it's legit;

    I await your analysis as to the significance of this find, the degree of threat to national security it posed, how it meshes with previous statements by the administration, and what it means for the future of Iraq.

    Go for it.

    It was in a roadside bomb. The insurgents screwed up. You make roadside bombs with traditional artillery rounds, not chem rounds. That's the way the CIA taught the original holy warriors. The military admits in the CNN article that it was probably left over from the Iran Iraq war and that it was ineffective as an IED. But I guess a war was justified since they may have a few more rounds left over from the Iran Iraq war sitting around rusting somewhere.

    "Kimmitt said the artillery round was of an old style that Saddam Hussein's regime had declared it no longer had after the Persian Gulf War."

    Thankgoodness, there were no casualties...It is a near miracle because we know. We absolutely know only one drop can cause quick, choking death by ingestion, inhalation, or even exposure to skin or eyes...

    The detonation of this WMD agent is most effective with an artillery round via flight for dispersal on a targeted area for maximizing death. Such death against civilians easily runs in the thousands to tens of thousands...
