Sarin, Mustard Gas Discovered Separately in Iraq

It's about time the Republicans had some good news to talk about. But before you get too excited, let's have a little objectivity here:

"Iraq had the deadly nerve agent in its stockpile but had declared its arsenal destroyed after the Gulf War.

But David Kay, the former chief U.S. weapons inspector in Iraq, said the discovery does not provide evidence that Saddam was secretly producing weapons of mass destruction after the Gulf War, as alleged by the Bush administration to justify the war that removed him from power.

Shell could be leftover from before Gulf War
"I think all of us have known that because of the sheer volume of artillery (containing agents like sarin that were in the Iraqi arsenal prior to the Gulf War) ... that there were likely to be some of these still around Iraq," he told MSNBC TV. "But (the discovery) doesn't speak to the issue of whether weapons of mass destruction were still being produced in Iraq in the mid-1990s."

MSNBC

Nice spin. LOL

Who cares what vintage they are. He had them, he did use them, and he did hide them. What's the debate?

================================
More than 140 nations signed the Chemical Weapons Convention of 1993, which bans the development, production and possession of chemical weapons. Nonetheless, a number of nations are believe to have the weapons.
================================
The Biological Weapons Convention, signed in 1972, prohibits the manufacture, stockpiling and use of biological weapons. But there are several countries that continue to make and study them. Some countries' stockpiles are unaccounted for, as is the case with Iraq.
=================================
They believe the mustard gas shell may have been one of 550 projectiles for which former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein failed to account when he made his weapons declaration shortly before Operation Iraqi Freedom began last year. Iraq also failed to then account for 450 aerial bombs with mustard gas. That, combined with the shells, totaled about 80 tons of unaccounted for mustard gas.
=================================
Everybody knew Saddam had chemical weapons, the question was, where did they go. Unfortunately, everybody jumped on the offramp and said 'well, because we didn't find them, he didn't have them,'
================================
it does confirm what we've known ... that he [Saddam] had weapons of mass destruction that he used on his own people," Sen. Charles Grassley
=================================
This does show that the fear we had is very real. Now whether there is much more of this we don't know, Iraq is the size of the state of California
================================
Gazi George, a former Iraqi nuclear scientist under Saddam's regime, told Fox News he believes many similar weapons stockpiled by the former regime were either buried underground or transported to Syria. He noted that the airport where the device was detonated is on the way to Baghdad from the Syrian border.
=================================
George said the finding likely will be the first in a series of discoveries of such weapons.
=================================
"Saddam is the type who will not store those materials in a military warehouse. He's gonna store them either underground, or, as I said, lots of them have gone west to Syria and are being brought back with the insurgencies," George told Fox News. "It is difficult to look in areas that are not obvious to the military's eyes.
==============================
"I'm sure they're going to find more once time passes," he continued, saying one year is not enough for the survey group or the military to find the weapons.

I'm not debating anything in this thread, but merely pointing out that it's one shell.

Hopefully, we'll find the stockpile and destroy them, if they're there!

It was kind of painful to see Colin Powell on Meet the Press yesterday have to explain why the sources that he used during his speech to the UN are inaccurate regarding WMD in Iraq.
